Made this card to try watercoloring again for Memories of Past CAS514 challenge. I use to watercolor over 30 years ago, so I wanted to try it again for a card. Also, a couple of my Alpha sisters, Catherine and Victoria, attempted their first watercolor cards yesterday. I didn't want to be left behind. LOL
I watched a You Tube video to help me remember how to watercolor a flower. It was a lot harder than I remembered. Kudos to those of you who do lots of watercolor cards (Ann).
I lightly drew the image with a watercolor pencil and then attempted to paint image using Aquacolor crayons. When it was dry I layered it on purple card stock and added a ribbon.
Thanks for a fun challenge Kelli! Happy New Year!

This is just stunning! I am truly impressed you drew this flower yourself, then watercolored it. The colors are stunning and so is the depth of color you achieved here. Happy New Year to you! ~Karen.
