I got one of the new Level 2 hostess sets. I love this set. It has some great images for watercoloring. I saw a watercoloring challenge on the Stampin B’s Design Team blog. So I chose the carnation looking flower image.
I decided to try using my watercolor crayons on the image. I colored the stamp leaves with Always Artichoke and the stamp petals on the flower were Rose Red on the outside petals and Regal Rose on the inside petals. I then spritzed it with water and stamped my image. I loved the look but since it was an outline image there was no color inside the lines. I decided to pull out my aqua painter and using ink in the lid painted the inside of the image. After I painted the flower you really couldn’t see the inside petal edges. I pulled out my Regal Rose marker and traced over the lines. Here is my creation.
