With Sympathy

Published by Michele Boyer at 5:34 pm under My Designs, Whipper Snapper

Hi everyone!  Last week seemed to be the week of sympathy cards around here.  I made three, and my husband came home from work yesterday asking me to make another.   This is my favorite so far.

With Sympathy

          WSDWS

It’s been ages since I watercolored on watercolor paper (or at all).  I had forgotten that patience is required.  Stamp the image.  Wait.  Lay down the first color. Wait.  Add more color…  I prefer the instant gratification of using Copics, but I like the result here.  I really should try it more often. 

I used Anna’s Blossoms and Butterflies and Blooming Expressions by Whipper Snapper.  Such pretty flowers in this set. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!  :)

    I keep my heat gun handy when I watercolor, I am way to impatient to wait, lol! Love the watercoloring, Anna’s flowers are perfect for it.

    It’s gorgeous, Michele! Your watercoloring is as excellent as ever. Love the layout. One coloring medium takes me as long as the other, but I do like the way alcohol markers blend.
