I coloured the flower with Intense Pencils and then used a damp brush to smooth out the lines and create a watercolour effect. I love the way it turned out but I do need more practice with shading. Not bad for a first effort though eh ?  I used a couple of spritzers to spray and splatter the background,   love this effect, so delicate and pretty :-)


I am just about to get packed and set off for the airport. I am going home, back to the UK, for a couple of weeks so I will see you all when I get back, in the meantime, Happy Crafting !! :-)









You have until Wed  8am Ohio time. 1pm UK time, 2 pm CET to join in

Challenges :
Shopping Our Stash       Love Me Do
Through the Purple Haze     Love is in the Air



Hope you all have a great week :-)
Happy Crafting
