A quick post tonight....I have been painting our bathroom, and have been at it yesterday, today and hopefully finishing up tomorrow....the ceiling, the cupboards, the walls...it's a big job. I'm so thankful my mom is helping me.
But, after painting today I needed a break, so I used the Color Challenge colors of Pretty in Pink, Baja Breeze and Kiwi Kiss and some beautiful Gina K flowers to create this bouquet. All the flowers are masked and watercolored...after I had the main image done, I realized that one of my tulips was floating without a stem, it looked wrong, so I added another one with a stem over top. I've outlined all the flowers with a copic marker to give it sort of that blue glow.
Do you notice this gorgeous flower ribbon? I made it! We saw it in a WOW presentation at the SU Regional we went to on Saturday....I'll show you the step by step another day, but it's definitely a WOW effect!
I'll be back tomorrow to show you some of the projects I made for my sweet new niece!
