Fuchsia Favourites

As I wait for spring I thought I would post a couple of cards I made a few years ago when filming my Floral Faves online course. I used the beautiful ‘Captivating‘ stamp from Penny Black to teach a no-line watercolour technique. All my online courses are discounted by 40% for a one more week.
Edited to add: use the code LEAPYEAR40 if the discount doesn’t appear automatically.
I used watercolour paints to colour the two cards featured today but I have also used waterbased inks smooshed onto a glass mat as they also work well for the technique. I added the tiny little tag from the PB ‘gift card pocket die set‘. It’s a set that I never use to make gift card pockets but often reach for one of the tag or label dies included.
I had fuchsias looking pretty in the planters at my front door last year. They were the opposite colouring of the ones above with pale pinky purple petals hanging down and creamy white petals at the top.
It might be time to pull out this stamp again and try it with the new pastel pencils. For more inspiration with this stamp click here and here. Today’s post features affiliate links to The Foiled Fox.

There is nothing more beautiful than your exquisite coloring! This is just amazing! It’s a joy to see them and it’s done so well it almost looks like a photograph. Just gorgeous!
I love the red and the purple one too, but not crazy about the one with the dark background. Beautiful job on the flowers themselves.
Fuchsias are absolutely lovely! Nice reminder of my dad’s garden who could make anything grow! You mentioned the 40% course discount, but don’t see it mentioned when I clicked on a class.
Hi Marilyn,
My mum and dad grew fuchsia too. When I posted the link I thought it was going to take you to the already discounted prices. You can use the code LEAPYEAR40 at check out for discount.
Thank you very much!
Absolutely gorgeous – the purple tones are just fabulous!
Two beautiful stamped fuchsia flowers and love them in both the purple and the red Heather, and the added twine and sweet little tag sentiment finish them both so prettily. x
Amazing watercolouring of this gorgeous image, Heather. I love both your colour versions. The sweet tag with twine is the perfect finishing. xx
WOW absolutely stunning, your fuchsia flowers are so beautiful, fantastic art and I love the little tag.
Hugs
