Working with Watercolor

Today I decided to break out the watercolors and do a little practicing andexperimenting.  All of the wonderful tutorials out there make it look so easy.  Maybe for an artist it is, but for a perfectionist it can be a little frustrating.   My experience with watercolors is that it can sometimes take on a mind of it's own.  You have to have patience waiting for the colors to dry.  It's very easy to over saturate the paper with color.  

I decided to keep with a simple, soft backdrop that would work well for Thinking of You cards or Sympathy cards.  Something with kind of a dreamy, soothing feel to them.  I made them all a little different, matted and embossed them for a more formal look and added a dimensional element for a little interest.





Thanks for stopping by!
