Watercolor Flora & Fauna

 

Good Morning!

I had some time yesterday to get into my craft room.

I wanted to try watercoloring these WPlus9 Flora & Fauna 2 images.  Until now, I have just used the images 'as is' stamping the outlines. They look beautiful that way too, but I wanted to wait to try this technique until I had a little quiet and extra patience to take my time and see what I could do.  It's not perfect, by far, but I think it turned out pretty!

 

 

 

I heat embossed my images in white and then

I used distress inks as my medium.  I find that success lies in the patience. Drying in between adding layers of color.

 

  

I'm excited to try again!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

I hope you're having a great weekend!

 

Trying a new format with larger photos and text.

What do you think? Which do you prefer?
