I'm participating in Kathy Racoosin's 30 Coloring Challenge by doing just a little bit each day.
I'm focusing on watercoloring and adding new layers each day to deepen the colors. Patience is not always my virtue--especially when approaching watercolors. And that is a mistake. Letting each layer dry completely makes a huge difference. This card represents three days of coloring. I posted each day's progress on Instagram, but after posting the finished card there, decided to add three raindrops to the card which I like.
To expedite matters, I used a page from Altenew's Watercolor Coloring Book. I also used Altenew's 36 pan watercolors.
The images in the coloring book are larger than I'd like them to be, but I was able to die cut the floral and then a narrow frame with Hero Arts "Rounded Rectangles Infinity" dies. The frame is one of my favorite greens from Gina K called "Asparagus." The card base is a "Pale Pink" from Memory Box which has a white interior--great for writing a thank you note. The sentiment strip was in my "already stamped and die cut" basket, and I'm not sure which of the many sentiment stamps I used for this one.
I've watercolored the past two days as well, but probably won't share any of it here or on Instagram as I'm hoping to use it for a future Color Hues post.
Need to get back to the cleaning and organizing I want completed before Sarah and her family arrive this weekend. We're having absolutely perfect summer weather here. I hope it continues.
