My Day 2 as GIU

Welcome back for Day 2 of my week as the Growing in Unity Gal!
If you missed yesterday, go back & check it out

Today is all about watercoloring!
I adore this Unity Stamp set called Cluster of Buds
and when you add watercoloring to it,
wow so very pretty


I decided against a sentiment for this one so you could use it for absolutely anything!

I stared out just simply stamping using Ranger Archival Ink in Black and stamped the same flower three times slightly rotating the stamp for each, same for the stems/leaves
Next I got out my very inexpensive Prang watercolors and just started painting,
nothing magical here but layering on the paints until I got the look I wanted.

Remember, come back to my blog each day & leave a comment for a chance to win 25 random stamps. I'll have a new creation tomorrow!
