Watercolored Tulips


This is for the SCS color challenge, using Iwona's Sketchbook Saturday Challenge #122 and practicing my watercoloring for the OCC - Watercoloring for Cardmakers.  I didn't include a sentiment because I honestly couldn't figure out what color to use for it without it taking away from the watercoloring!  I think I am addicted to coloring these tulips!  The vertical strip is washi tape and I covered some vellum paper with the tape and punched out the butterflies from it.

I am also submitting this to the Paper Players Challenge:  Clean and Simple Floral Challenge:


Thanks for coming by!
