Inspire Me Monday – Magnolia Sunshing

PP_Blog_InspireMeMonday_Badge_JessieBanks.png

Hey everyone! I am finally back on my floral game! I have truly missed painting up flowers. So for today’s card I cropped and printed off Power Poppy’s Magnolia Sunshine Digital image on some Fabriano Artistico 140lbs hotpress watercolor paper.

I bought these Jane Davenport watercolours, because the tins were so cute and got around to finally trying the paint! You don’t need to have the worlds priciest paint to create beautiful bright vivid floral cards! Just look at how those colours work together, I was, overall, impressed with these paints.

I didn’t think I was going to have time to get a video of this one together for you all, but I stayed up a little late and got it done, I love filming watercolour and getting to see it all come together again as I edit the video! I hope you enjoy.

Thanks for stopping by,

Hellebores

Hey everyone! We are still going strong and having a great time playing with Power Poppy images over at Passionate Paper Creations and Friends this weekend. If you aren’t over there with us yet you really should be!

To colour the Hellebores image up I used my Schmincke Horadam Aquarel watercolour set. I will list the colours I used, but just remember these colours were mixed together and used with different amounts of water to achieve the look I was after not just straight colour out of the pans.

Colours used – Lemon Yellow, Chrome Yellow Deep, Magenta, Permanent Carmine, Delft Blue, Idigo, Prussian Green, May Green, Colbalt Green Dark, Olive Green Yellow, and Yellow Ocher.
