Love your cards. Our nurseries are really starting to carry a number of succulents. Love the tiny ones that you can gather with others for a really interesting pot. Your colors are fabulous and spot on. Never knew how colorful succulents really could be.
I really enjoyed your video on the Water Painting technique. I just bought a set of water brushes this week. You make it look so easy! Thanks for all the info! Jane
It really is easy. You’ll see!! Have fun making your cards!
You are so right and I’m glad you enjoyed these cards!
Do you glue your watercolor cutouts to a piece of csrdstock or do you use dimensionals. I can’t tell by looking
Such fun
Thanks
