OCC Watercolour, Day 5

So much inspiration--so little time!! This card took a long time to complete, but I am pleased with how it turned out. I stamped in Versafine Black Onyx ink, then used my tube watercolours to paint the flowers. Many layers later, I was happy, although Dogwoods aren't quite as dark in real life, I did like the contrast from light to dark, and I purposely didn't blend the colours too much (like I do with Copics). I used a white gel pen for some detail, and some yellow Perfect Pearls for the flower centers (which is one thing I am NOT very happy with). I'd like to try this again, but with Inktense pencils, instead. The sentiment is from PTI Mega Mixed Messages.

Thanks for looking!
