I've been on a card making kick! This is an image I got from PIF. It was in the SU mini catalog and I really liked it but wasn't sure I needed to own the set! I watercolored this by using my SU markers and coloring onto the case of a SU set. You then use you aqua pen to pick up the color and color your image. It's one of my fave techniques. And I think I'm getting pretty good at it! This image however was VERY hard to color! It was hard to tell what was leaves and what was flowers. I went with a purple flower - think pansies - the centers are yellow - very small hard to see. I then matted the image twice and used a double matte for the card base. I stamped the sentiment from PTI Green Thumb in Elegant Eggplant and added some white buttons with some DMC floss that I attempted to color with my SU markers - not nearly as easy as ribbon or pretties let me tell you! But it worked in a pinch! I hope these are posting as we are actually on our mini vacation visiting Andrew's parents right now!
