I hope you're not in peony-overload! I spent a bit more time with it this weekend and used distress inks and a waterbrush to make 3 more same-but-different cards. This time I tried fall colours for this week's Inspired by All the Little Things Challenge:
For the first one, I layered up my flower, starting with yellow, then two tones of orange before finishing off with some orange-red.
This time I tried to unleash my inner Kimberly and stamped in black and then used a loose, bold watercolour style. I love the vivid colours.
Finally, I took a more classic approach, painting each petal, and allowing each layer to dry naturally.
I used:
-Ellen Hutson Mondo Peony
-Distress inks
ETA: Bonnie chose the top card as a Stand Out!
Your artistry is amazing, Ardyth - each is spectacular!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I get stuck on coloring an image a certain way - so great to see it differently all at once. Love the top one the most though! It just seems to radiate warmth somehow.
ReplyDeleteWould not want to have to pick a favorite from these three beauties..cuz they are all stunning! Gorgeous bold, fall colors and awesome watercolor technique!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful watercoloring - love all three samples, although my favorite is the first one with the yellow glow behind the flower. Very lovely!
ReplyDeleteAll three variations are lovely!..The black outlined with loose coloring is my favorite. So glad to see you playing at Inspired By All the Little Things:))
