If you are a plan ahead – plant ahead person then you might have some seedlings growing somewhere in your house or green house. These are the only seedlings I have at this point but I must say they are looking quite healthy.
This is a digital stamp designed by my daughter and available in her etsy store Echidna Studios. I printed it so that it just fitted on an A2 card front but I think it might be nice to print it larger and feature only one or two pots on a card front with the shoots and leaves coming off the edge of the panel.
I printed on hot pressed watercolour paper and used my Sennelier pan paints for all the colouring. I used a mix of greens for the greenery and a mix of blue and brown for the pots. I really like blue and brown combos these days, something that I wouldn’t have imagined a few years back.
The sentiment is from Simply Graphic’s ‘English Sentiments’ set; I like the handwritten look and the size of the words. I know I could be handwriting a few sentiments myself here and there but I always add the sentiment last and by that time I don’t want to mess up a otherwise completed card with a crooked or uneven sentiment. That being said I think I should try a few handwritten sentiments on upcoming cards…

Lovely card and the image is just a bit different so it catches one’s eye! Did you daughter draw this image?
Hi Marilyn
thank you, yes my daughter drew it, so glad you like it.
So impressed!! Lucky daughter to have inherited your talented genes!
Nicely done Heather! I agree you should try your handwriting on some cards. When in doubt, do the handwriting first, then the art work….OR, do it as a layer.

This is so fresh and beautiful, Heather! I’m finding that adding a bit of blue to brown and green is very pleasing! I also love the font of the sentiment that has a handwritten look!
Such a pretty design by your daughter Heather, and beautifully watercoloured by you. I think your handwritten sentiments would look great on cards such as these. x
What a remarkable image and your painting takes it over the top. If I could paint like this I’d give it a try in a heartbeat! I love how neatly you painted those vines. This card is just beautiful!
