Watercolour blossoms

I am inspired by so many amazing stampers whose blogs I visit when I can.  Some of them have very individual styles, which has prompted me to wonder whether I have any particular style at all?!  When I look back through my archives there are vintage, modern, embossed, watercoloured, overdone, underdone, large, small, etc, etc!  Perhaps I have several styles, I do know that I keep on seeing wonderful  ideas and techniques that I am keen to try.

I have used watercolouring on my cards in the past, but Jerri Jiminez’s gorgeous watercolours have inspired me to try again, with a gold outline this time.    I was fairly happy with the blossoms but could not get the background colour the way I wanted it.  My older daughter, whose style is definitely “less is more”  told me to” leave it alone, it looks  good as it is!”  A few days after I had finished this card Jerri posted a very detailed tutorial on watercolouring, so I shall be trying again, with her instructions to  guide me.
