Spring Flowers Watercolor Card

What did you think about the last watercolored card?  Did you miss it, see it here!  Today you will want to use the same two Schminke colors – Translucent Orange and Magenta, in the same style, but with a totally different look.  Add some free form leaves with Sap Green and Olive Green as well.  To give the card that pop, you will want to use some Stampin’ Up! Rose Red card stock.  For a little drama, add some Dimenionals to help it stand out a bit more!  It was surprising that the Magenta color matched the Rose Red card stock.  But, the deep hue was almost a perfect color. 

See how much different the card looks from the last one without the lemon yellow wash painted as the background?  It’s really surprising to see them side by side and how different they look.

I know I added a thinking of you greeting, but this would be the perfect blank or mother’s day card!  Since it is an original artwork piece, I also added a title to my little masterpiece – Spring Flowers and signed my name and date.  Definitely add the date – it gives your art value, especially as the years go on!  It’s also to see the progression over time.  The card is 1/4 larger than the traditional A2 sized other card.  It measures 5×6”.
