Watercolor Wreath Series - Two


Hello there!  I’m back with the series of original watercolor wreath artwork I’ve been working on.  The first post is HERE in case you want to catch up.  For this trio I used the same 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 inch size of card, Strathmore watercolor paper, and Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors.  

This first card does have the look of Christmas berries, but I think the pop of lime green could make it work for any season.  I’ve stamped the Bible Verse from Stamp Simply’s Words of Encouragement set.  




This card shows off a bit more delicate feel with tiny leaves, pointed petal open blossoms and a sweet palette of colours.  


I did some splattering on this one and the Bible verse is from Stamp Simply, Pastor and Minister Appreciation Scripture Sentiments.  


This last one is all cool blues and greens with heart shaped blossoms and simple lines.  


It’s really fun to play with different types of brush strokes to get unique flower and leaf looks!

These are beautiful. Christine!! I love the way you’ve highlighted the scriptures with your own brushstrokes. The colors are so dreamy. You have a lot of talent in the watercolor department!

You just get better and better, Christine! These are so beautiful! Love the cute little size, and the Stamp Simply verses are perfect for you. Hard to pick a favorite. I do love all the color on the 2nd wreath, but something about the 3rd with its cool blues and greens and the way it sweeps around the verse... just love that!

Christine, I have so loved seeing your wreaths with the Scripture verses, and these are stunning! I also love the second one with the many colors and flowers, but they are all stunning! Hugs and love! xoxo
