Handpainted blooms

I’ve been putting together some gift collections of cards, no overarching theme, just a selection with greetings or blank options. To do so I’ve raided my stash of panels or as I’ve called it before, my ‘pile of possibilities’!

This handpainted watercolour panel was in the pile and I couldn’t say how long it’s been there; long enough that I can’t remember which paints I used. It is on cold pressed watercolour paper and I added some gold cord wrapped around several times before I attached it to a card base

Initially it was going to be a portrait oriented card as shown above and below but when photographing it I turned it on its side and quite liked it that way too. What do you think? There is no sentiment so the person who receives the gift set can make the final decision.

  3. Gorgeous hand-painted blooms Heather. Love yellow and blue together. Such a lovely idea to give as a gift and let the recipient decide what to use the cards for. Your card looks amazing in both portrait and landscape, but I always favour the portrait, as you can tell by the majority of my cards I make. 🙂 xx
