Hello Paper Friends!

Today I want to share my latest project. A watercolor panel decorated in bright springy colors.

I've been looking for a project so I could use this photo from a flower arrangement we had in our hotel while visiting the Netherlands. This turned out the perfect one.

Instead of using water colors I decided to play with the new gorgeous Art alchemy paints. They have such a beautiful sheen. I started out with the Rich Turquoise - 963231, mixing a small amount with some water and splatter it over the panel. Trying to create some running effects and splatters.

I continued with the Lime Peel - 963224 putting some on a dish with a brush and picking a stamp from the Inksplatter stamp set - 580223, using the paint as my ink spreading it over the panel. Don't forget the sides. Last color is the Pure Sunshine - 963187. For this one I used the Coffeestain stampset - 580247. The effect is quite radiant and totally matches the photo.

Now that my background was done it was time to start with the rest of decorating. I used a journal card from Royal Menagerie - 582593with some Dresden Trim. The feathers are from the Garden Fable chipboard collection - 579074. I covered the Creative Embellishment chipboard branch with brown liquid pearl.

The big blue flower is from Royal Menagerie - Mary - 583282. The yellow flowers I got from my friend Heather Thompson. So a big shout out to her for finding me some yellow Prima flowers to match the theme. They are Mini Bouquet Alyssa - 538583. I added some cheese cloth through the arrangement for an extra detail.

The final touch was covering the pink letters of celebration with green Liquid Pearl for my title.
