Hi everyone. Over the next few weeks, I'm going to be sharing several watercolured cards that I've made. This was made for my good friend, Lee-Anne (Creatively LA). She has now received the card, so I'm sharing with you. :)
I've had so much fun watercoloring, which is something I never thought I'd say. After taking a watercolouring class and struggling with many of the techniques (a few worked for me, lots didn't) ... I have found my own way of watercolouring and I'm really having fun! :) As I'm getting more comfortable with this medium, I'm experimenting and learning lots along the way. This one is done with Distress Inks and I love the vibrant colours.
I'm entering this card into a few challenges that are running right now ... CAS-ology #116 (cue card: Splatter); AAA Cards #23 - Watercolours; and Virginia's View #8 - CAS.
Also adding this to Simon Says - Use Watercolors.

Oh my I am loving the vibrant colors on this card too Loll! You amaze me with your water coloring anyway. I have yet taken the class, but one day I hope too. I hope I find my way with water coloring too as it is so beautiful when I see yours. Hugs, Brenda
Stunning card Lolll and amazing colours
Anne
Adorable ! I'm a huge fan of your cards :). How did you do with the flower ? Did you stamp it on the other colours or masked it or did you watercolour around the flower ?
Loll, it is always great seeing your watercolored creations. What a beautiful card and thank you for playing with us this week at AAA Cards!
Hi Anita. I started with the background first ... trying not to get too much of the darker colors where I wanted my poppies. Then I stamped the poppy and watercoloured it with bright / dark shades of orange. Loll :)
Your poppies look great Loll! Great job with the watercoloring!
And your style of watercoloring is one of my favorites now, Lolly! You are a pro at it, to my way of thinking. I'd love for you to do a tutorial on your "own way of watercoloring!" (Let me know if you have and I've missed it, or when you do one!) The background colors with the outlined poppies is really extraordinary!! Hugs, Dolly
Absolutely beautiful, Loll! This looks like it came straight out of an art museum! You're so talented. :)
Thanks so much for joining us again over at CASology!
Oh lucky :Lee-Ann!! This is stunning!! Thanks for joining in at AAA!
You certainly have mastered your own technique of watercolouring! This is beautiful and I must learn your technique!
I knew you were going to embrace the watercoloring! And what beautiful cards watercolors you are coming up with! This needs to be in a frame! I'm with Susan, I need to learn your techniques.
Oh, Loll, this is beautiful! (I prefer watercolouring with distress inks too.)
This is gorgeous! I need to revisit the watercolor class.
Love your way of w/coloring! I'm still struggling & I took the w/c class too! This is one of my fav recent PB images, and your poppies are just lovely with that soft background wash of color. I'm liking what you're doing with the water coloring. TFS &Hugs

This is absolutely breathtaking Loll.
Beautiful Loll! I am in love with the background! I was just saying on the weekend that I've lost confidence in my watercolour ability! I need to watch some videos and PRACTISE!
Amazingly beautiful watercolor!
This is Gorgeous Loll, the colours are beautiful and so vibrant!
My watercolours never see daylight...due to not enough hours in a day :( must get back to them.

Loll, you have really mastered the art of water colouring! This is just spectacular! Everything just blends seamlessly together and keeps the eyes completely glued! Just gorgeous! big hugs :)
I'm adding my voice to Darnell's - tutorials, please (we can find ways to use up any free time you have *grin* with such requests). I think you've found your niche in water-colouring; this card is another glorious work of art....
