Happy Little Stampers Watercolour: Flowers


It's March in Australia, and soon to be March here, and so the next round of Happy Little Stampers begins with its Watercolour Challenge! Our optional theme for March is flowers - and here, where it's still WINTER, flowers seem like a fine idea. 


I watercoloured this pretty stem of sweet peas with my Zig markers and die cut it. For a little interest on the white panel, I used a section of a scraped paint stencil with green distress ink, letting it fade away towards the top and bottom. A sentiment banner and a trio of sequins finish this clean and simple card. 


There is a veritable bouquet of inspiration on the Happy Little Stampers blog today - check it out and then I hope you will join us! 

Supplies: Neenah white & Hero Arts layering cardstock, Ranger watercolour paper, Studio Katia You're So Sweet stamps & dies, Versafine onyx black & mowed lawn distress ink, Wow clear gloss embossing powder, Zig watercolour markers, Memory Box scraped paint stencil, MFT blueprints 29 sentiment die, Ink Road sequins, frosted lace Stickles, foam tape

Pin It Now!

Very pretty! LOVE that underlayer of stencil. I need to find time for this as it covers both of my 2020 goals...watercoloring and florals.

Pretty flowers to welcome March, even if winter still has a grip (it does here, not so much with snow, but cold winds!). Once again, your zigs have inspired.
Now I'm thinking I 'should' share my zig-colouring...but we shall see!
