Painting Poinsettias
>> Wednesday, August 23, 2023
Hello Crafty Friends,
Don't you love learning new techniques?
I have been learning the Wet on Damp Watercoloring technique covered in THIS YouTube video by Anna Bucciarelli. I thought it would be great on a stamped poinsettia so I stamped the DRS Designs Giant Poinsettia on my paper a few times, and then watercolored it all with Daniel Smith Watercolors. When the petals were still damp, I extended the viens a bit. I have a long way to go before I get this technique down, but I am still loving the results. Plus I did this on regular Heavyweight Paper from The Paper Studio and it would have been much easier on watercolor paper.
It's time to start those Christmas cards if you haven't already!
Hugz,
Nancy

I love the effect of the water coloring. Gorgeous blue on this card too, it really makes the red in the poinsettias pop. I am going to have to check out that video when I have a minute in my craft cave.
So impressive Nancy!! I used to think watercolors were mostly pastels, but your vibrant blue background reminds me again just how vivid they can be!
First, I hope you are feeling better!!!
Your card is beautiful, what a lovely job you did painting your flowers!! I love the colors too!
Oh Nancy! I so need to make some holiday cards before I get overwhelmed! This one is lovely! Those big flowers are just sensational against the blue background and the sentiment is perfect!
