I couldn't let an anniversary post go by without using Wallpaper Art, which seems to have skyrocketed to one of everyone's most favorite stamp sets when it was release last year. I'm not sure if it's the size of the flowers or the design and art itself that is so appealing, but there is just something about the set that keeps me coming back to color it many different ways.
Besides the stamp set, another obsession of mine is no line watercoloring. My technique isn't perfect, but that's the fun of creating. With each attempt and card I create, I learn something that I should or shouldn't do for next time. In fact, my mistakes are my best tool for learning in my opinion. I usually don't have to make the same mistake more than once or twice to remember that I should definitely not do that again.
Thank you so much for stopping by my stop on the 4th day of Altenew's 6th Anniversary Celebration Hop! I hope that you've gotten some inspiration and continue to hop along with us. Be sure to leave a comment on this post for your chance to win one of the incredible prizes listed above. I hope to see you back here again soon!
