It'ms time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches! Karren is our amazing sketcher this week and has a fun one! If you like using large images or a big panel of white space, it's going to be the perfect sketch for you! I took advantage of it and used this big ol' flower from this Stampin' Up Best Thoughts set that has been sitting uninked (gasp!) on my shelf for way too long. I used some watercolor paper and my Gansai Tambi watercolors. I am not a watercolorer, but it was fun to play.
See? Isn't that fun? I love the little angle sliver on the edge. It helps add a fun bit of interest beside the large panel. Sneak in a little piece of that pretty paper you've been hoarding. ;)
Oh this is gorgeous and so perfectly detailed!
ReplyDeleteYour choice of colours for this image is fabulous & eye-catching! Gorgeous card; love the peek of gingham
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful flower - can't believe you haven't used it before! Love the little touch with the butterfly. Xx
ReplyDeleteI think you are a wonderful "watercolorer!" The flower is bold and beautiful! And I love the gingham peeking out!
ReplyDeleteThat flower is gorgeous and you've colored it beautifully, so don't say you're not a watercolorer :)
