Watercoloring Loose tissue lifted Flowers

 This week Suz is sharing this video seen here on YouTube by Nasim Art called Loose Watercolor Flowers Easy Lifting Technique for Soft effects. 

I did not sketch anything just started painting. So, this was a snap shot of what it looked like starting out. 

 

Added more paints, I kept the flowers to 2 shades one yellow and one reddish tone. ( I forget what I used) 

 Added a little more paints to it and did the over daubing again. 

 Deepened the colors just a little more, it was drying so I started to leave it alone so the stems & pods could dry. 

 Added some splatters and walked away. 

 When I pulled off the tape it was a little warped so, I did put this dried panel into the bigshot and left it pressing for about 4 hours. 

Sometime after Christmas I purchased 3 new colors of Paints and I've had the little pans (they dried months ago) on the table loose. But, months ago I had re-organized these two large boxes and moved one of them into a smaller box and had taken out the shades of paint I really do not like. So, adding three colors made it, I needed to reorganize and create space. So, the new cheat sheets are not laminated as of yet because, who knows? more shades of paint could follow me home to fill those holes some day. 

 So I pulled out these deckle dies from HoneyBee stamps and used that to make this fit on a 5 1/2" square cardfront. 

 The base here is some cream cardstock cut to 5 1/2" square and then the mat later is some old Basic Grey Urban Couture paper. The sentiment here is from Lili of the Valley on some neenah solar white cut it out with scissors and inked the edges with some scorched timber. The mini brad is probably from Recollections. And that's about it from me. If you'd like to play along with us you can find this challenge here at SCS. I hope you're doing well, & Thanks for stopping by.
