So I decided to do what I love to do best, take a digital image, this time I chose the Climbing Clemantis and blow it up super large, I used a sentiment from the Cuppa Buttercups digital set and painted it all with my watercolours!

I have a love for painting florals, I have not had much of a chance to do many of them lately, but that doesn’t change how much I love them!!

Check out our Bloom Brigade and Instant Gardener Team creations and heartfelt words as they help celebrate this happy and beautiful couple!

Hey all! Today is the final day of previews for The Greeting Farm! Today’s set is called Holiday Wishes, and penguins are my favorite animal (fun fact, my first email address ever was about penguins, I was 14).

Inspire Me Monday – Washy Watercolour

Posted in Daniel Smith, Power Poppy, Uncategorized, Watercolor, You Tube, Youtube by

PP_Blog_InspireMeMonday_Badge_JessieBanks.png

Hey everyone! I am here today, hopefully to help inspire your creative week, using an awesome floral image from Power Poppy!

I am all about floral cards, in ever medium ever!! Today I have a video with some super soft watercolour on the Bubbles and Fizz digital stamp!

PP Bubble and FIzz

I really love this image, I chose to print the lightened version of the stamp and use some light washy watercolours. I really love the way this card came out. In my usual style I blew up the image to fit the front of a card and added the sentiment that comes along with it!
I hope you enjoy my video!

I have always loved how washy watercolours work so well with florals, you don’t have to worry about picking every little detail to come out with a super lovely card front!

PP Bubble and fizz 2

Colours used: (these are all Daniel Smith Colours, but you can use any watercolours you have on hand!)

Cobalt Teal Blue
Quinacridone Pink
Rose of Ultramarine
Moonglow

Sap Green
Serpentine Genuine
Green Apatite Genuine
