More watercolors for Day 16 and music print cards

Hey everyone - back for Day 16 of Kathy's (The Daily Marker) 30 Day Coloring Challenge! Since the watercolors were back out for yesterday's print-making, I decided to watercolor the Gina K Designs + Hero Arts Friendship Blooms. I previously colored this image with Copics (see it here) and pencils (here) but hadn't tackled it with watercolors yet until now.

I stamped the blossoms on the Strathmore 140 lb watercolor paper (using Antique Linen Distress Ink) since I had half a sheet leftover from yesterday. Watercolored with a combination of Yasutomo (plain & pearlescent) watercolors and Twinkling H20s. This is just a start - I have plenty more work to do on this one but at least I got the basics and some shading done.

Finally, I'll share three cards I created with the print I watercolored yesterday:

Supplies: Paper - DCWV Ms Sparkle A2 cards, Strathmore 140 lb watercolor paper

Paper Studio glitter paper; Gina K Tranquil Teal; 

Momenta watercolor patterned paper (banner and scalloped strip)

Stamps - Raisin Boat Feel the Beat (retired);

Hero Arts CG279 Musical Clef

Dies - My Favorite Things various Blueprints & Musical Notes (all retired);

Cheery Lynn Designs Whistle a Happy Tune (retired)

Other - Yasutomo and Twinkling H20 watercolors;

Hero Arts and Distress Inks

I always find it interesting how different you can make the print look by selectively die-cutting it into pieces! I have a few scraps of the print left that I can use on future projects. Still have some butterfly print pieces left too (I did a whole sheet for that one). I see some more butterfly cards in my future!

Well, gotta run - I'm off to shop, then eat a picnic lunch in a park with my friend, Rebecca. I'll stop at the garden store on the way home too - hoping to pick up a new shamrock plant to replace the poor darling who croaked while I did the stay-at-home order in my parents' house. If you saw my photo of Misty sitting near my dead plants, I thought it was time to get them replaced and/or repotted. I also got a new peace plant from a friend so that's gracing the top of my shelves - it's got such a beautiful bitty flower I had to share it:

Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful day!!
