I have a few watercolor cards to share today. I purchased a box of Strathmore cards and decided to paint a few to give away as gifts.
Happy Thursday, friends!Β π
For my first card, I started with some “Patty” flowers in my favorite purple #colorcrush.
I decided to not add any ink to this one. I love the softness and didn’t want to lose it.
My next card started with a fun under painting as a base for a floral sketch.
A little ink here wakes up my card and adds some fun. This pretty card will hopefully brighten someones day.
Watercolor tip:Β I used masking tape to hold my card in place while painting and sketching. That allowed me to position my card in a comfortable place and keep it from moving around as I worked.
I hope you are inspired to create art and do more of what you love. Thank you for following me on this creative journey.
Until next time, share a smile and shine on!

Love these cards, Patty Anne! Lately I’ve been using some post-it tape (which is reusable) to provide a nice even border around my cards and loving the look.

Thank you, Jill! ππΈ
The paper was nice for painting but not as smooth as I like for ink sketching.
