I had fun trying to watercolor these two large flowers in a way that looks like the wedding invitation I received. I wonder if the bride will look at it and say, “Wow, this looks just like our invitations!” LOL, I seriously doubt it, but I am certain she’ll know…
I had a request for a card using the Cool Treats Bundle for an upcoming class. As I was looking at all of the elements, I thought it might be fun to create triangles on the front as a backdrop to an ice cream sundae. This is what I came…
