Watercoloring Clean & Simple Leaves

 Hi, & Welcome back. It's my turn to host the Watercoloring tutorial challenge at Splitcoaststampers this week and I have been totally under the weather as it is full swing allergy season here and I was so glad I had picked something easy when I was looking haha. 

You can find this video here on YouTube by CreationsCeeCee Called fresh and simple watercolor cards. I had intended to do a small stack of things but, this is the only one I have done so far.

I had an A6 scrap of studio loft watercolor paper on the table so, that is what I used. that is some Daniel Smith watercolor paints here and I did let this dry after this.

 

The addition of a leaf, it looked a little skinny but, not a bad shape so I kept going.

 I used this fountain Pen nub to do some veins on the leaf.

 Then I popped in a second leaf as the first was just too skinny in that block of color to my eye.At this point I really was just winging it as I knew I had seen the block go on get dried and then a leaf over the top but, that is all I remembered. 

 These sparkle paints were still out from (probably last week) and so I did add some shiny gold dots to the background below and above the first leaf.

I used a Frantic Stamper pinprick rectangle die to cut the hole into the top of the cardbase and then trimmed the watercolor panel slightly to fit behind it so the painting is countersunk here. The sentiment on this is from the Waffle Flower Inside sentiments birthday set done with some Versafine Ink. That's about it from me, If you'd like to play along with us you can find this challenge here at SCS. Thanks for stopping by.
