This beautiful image with its large petals was fun and easy to color and filled up a card front so nicely!

I started off by using a bright gold embossing powder to heat emboss the floral image onto watercolor paper. Since the stems were a bit short for my composition, I used an embossing pen to extend them to the edge of the panel.

Next, I used watercolors from the Altenew Artists’ Watercolor 24 Pan Set to color the image. I used clean clear water to cover the petals and then dropped in some very diluted Summer Afternoon yellow. Then I dropped in some Tea Party pink and Red Cosmos towards the center of the flowers and let the yellows and pinks and reds blend for a pretty peachy blend.

I darkened the centers of the flowers with dots of concentrated Red Cosmos and then colored in the leaves with Tropical Forest.

When the panel was dry, I stamped the sentiment in black pigment ink and then adhered the card front to a card base.
