Zinnia Sympathy – a watercolored digi image
***You still have time play in the Stampers United blog hop – you can find it ->-> HERE.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today at the Angels Landing blog, Judi has challenged the design team with a 4-way sketch. It’s one basic sketch but laid out 4 different ways. I chose to use the one on the bottom left.
The zinnia from Angels Landing Simply Flowers stamp set was perfect to try water coloring a digi image. Several copies of the flower and leaf images were printed on a thin watercolor paper using photo ink, and then heat set to dry. They were “loosely” painted using reinkers and a water brush, cut out and used as one of the sketch elements. A sentiment stamped on watercolor paper and matted on a die cut layer completes the card.
Here’s a close up of the flower (you can click on it to see it even larger):

Gorgeous watercoloring, Broni!!! And the sketch is great!
beautiful “Broni” watercoloring!! so cute!
I like how you’ve trimmed the leaves and flower leaving that thin border of white along the edges. It really makes the colors pop. Your watercoloring has a lovely, painterly feeling — nice. 🙂
Broni this is gorgeous!! The Simply Flowers are my favorite set!! Love how you colored them and used the ribbon as a stem!
So beautiful!

Ohhhhhhh, I so need to learn about printing images! This turned out beautifully, Broni! I love the “loose” watercoloring .. and I sincerely need to understand how “not” to smear the printer ink! See me on my knees????
