I love to paint loose and sketchy flowers with watercolors. I believe this is something everybody can do without having much knowledge about watercolor painting. For this spread I used waterproof ink to sketch the flower first and then I went in with my watercolors. I used Mijello Mission Gold watercolors as those are very transparent and I wanted to make sure not to cover up the ink lines. You can really easily fit this into a busy day. It’s a 5 min Sketch in the morning and 5min of coloring in the evening. Et voilá… it’s a pretty painting.

I am making some more gelli prints today using some of my brand new stamps. I am working with acrylic paints and the square and a tag sized gelli printing plate. The new stamps are 10% off until tomorrow. I love to used them for cardmaking or collaging.

Instead of watercolor paper I am using old book paper today to sketch and paint some loose flowers. This technique is a great way to create some beautiful junk journal papers. I am using three different papers today.
