Welcome April! Where I live, we seem to be welcoming the month with... snow. At least I can also welcome the month with a new challenge at Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Challenge! Our optional challenge this month is Bright - not always the first attribute one might associate with watercoloring; it is often used for a more dreamy, ethereal look. But bright can be done!
I've used the pretty sweet pea stamps from Studio Katia with Gansai Tambi paints to achieve my bright floral cluster. Using a dot stencil I added some bright yellow polka dots behind it, then mounted the panel on a matching yellow card base. Some iridescent confetti (also from Studio Katia) finishes the card. I'm adding this card to the current Anything Goes challenge at Simon Says Stamp.
The Happy Little Stampers watercolour team have some beautiful cards to share with you, so why not head over there, be inspired, then join us!

Your pea flowers are so beautiful and delicate. I admire the technique of coloring with watercolors, how you painted flowers. All additional layers look great.

Gorgeous colouring and the added yellow dots really add to the brightness of the card! Hugs, Gwendolyn
I love sweet peas and you have coloured and blended them in my favourite colour Lindsey. Great idea to add yellow down the side and the tiny dots surrounding the flowers brings in all together so nicely.
Stunning card, I love sweet peas.
Absolutely stunning, Lindsey! I love sweet peas and you have coloured these to perfection! Great colour choices!
