Blooms on the Avenue

A really cool looking sketch today on SCS... it has a sort of geometric feel.

I've been dying to watercolor this gorgeous 5th Avenue set, so I pulled out the smallest blooms and watercolored them with deep Riding Hood Red shades.

I paired this pretty set with the really cool Fifth Avenue Patterns background set, I clear embossed the boxy stamp on the Riding Hood Red layer (though it's not perfect, I didn't line it up 100 %...but pretend it is ok?). So the geometric feel to the sketch is even more enhanced by the patterned background stamp, and the piercing...I think the embossing really gives it a more classy 5th Avenue feel too.

Because of the angle I took the picture you can see my dimensionals behind the sentiment (sigh)...ok pretend that's not there too....just pretend you're walking down 5th Avenue in New York and it's spring and you see these lovely red flowers at a flower shop...that's what I was going for :) Can you see it? Thanks for using your imagination with me! :)

The black inside of the flowers are dotted with a Sharpie for precision. But I love the rich red on these flowers, isn't it pretty? There's just something about this color combination that's a WOW factor too.

Thanks for stopping by today!
