The kids gave me a gift certificate to an art store this Christmas, and with all the kuffufle around my husband being sick, here we are in March and I finally had some time to pop over there to pick up a few more tubes of Daniel Smith Watercolour paint. So when I came home I used this gorgeous peony image from Power Poppy called Iresistable Peonies and some Arches cold pressed watercolour paper and did a little playing.
For this design I used: Quinachrodone Coral, Hansa Yello Medium, Hooker’s Green, and Phthalo Turquoise, with Lunar Violet in the background. I finished with a little gold metallic from my Gansai Tambi paints.
The sentiment die is from The Cat’s Pajamas and the little “YOU” stamped in green is from Power Poppy’s set, Bloomin’ Wonderful. I think next time I’ll print the image a wee bit darker from the digital - because when you start to lose your lines, as the paint covers the image, I got a bit lost! Still such a relaxing way to spend a few hours!

Christine, it's wonderful to see your amazing watercoloring. You've truly continued to grow, and I am in awe of your skill. What a blessing from the kids, and I'm so glad you were able to add to your watercolors. This is exquisite and beyond. I love the color and the elegant way to finish it with the scallops, the die, and the sequins. Sigh...stunning! Hugs and love! xoxo
