One seed can start a garden, one candle can light a room, one step can begin a journey, one conversation can start a friendship, one smile from a handmade card can lift one's SPIRIT!

Day 6 ~ another Jennifer card.. .intermediate watercolor class

I had to try it again with different colors...love the purple and red combo!
Can you see I did some "lifting"  to define the petals?
I had a friend request Thank you cards...I figured these were great cards with those sentiments.

I have another card..NOT for this watercolor class though!
I embossed in white the Persian Motifs from Altenew and used Inktense pencils and water to color it in...another Thank you card for the stash!


Day 6 of the Intermediate Watercolor Class

Did you notice I skipped day 3, 4, and 5 and went right to day 6?
I will try to go back this week and revisit those days...some were way over my head and NOT something I could tackle.  I can barely draw a flower stem let alone freehand a whole background of leaves and flowers!!  Trust me it is so TRUE!
But when I saw Jennifer McGuire's interpretation of this class, I gave it a try...practiced front and back on a whole sheet...finally felt comfortable to make a card...
So here it is...
Thanks for stopping by and looking!!

Online Watercolor Class Day 2

Simple Round Brush Flowers!

This was all done freehand with two round brushes, I am in shock that they look as good as they do (IMHO!! *wink).  These are supposed to be "cornflowers" according to Yana, the instructor on this lesson, and I can totally see that!
The sentiment is PTI from Bold Blossoms.
I think this would make the recipient happy!
I am learning a lot and struggling with some, I have a couple more to share for today, one I haven't even tried yet...freehand a rose, AYKM??

Heart Hugs!!
