White Florals and Copics

 Hello Crafters! 

Happy Sunday! 
I hope you're enjoying one last completely chill day before heading into your work week. Today is actually my "Monday" but such is the life of a public servant haha. 

Speaking of being of service today's post is all about helping out one of my Youtube followers. 
Tina is such a supportive crafter when she sent me a message asking if I could do a card which showed how I color white flowers there was no way I was saying no. 
Sometimes that girl's Youtube comments are legit the highlight of my day :) 


She asked for a daisy style flower and while these aren't exactly daisies I thought they would be close enough for government work. I hope Tina thinks so too! 

I've really been digging the distress inks as watercolor lately so I decided to revisit the ink smooshing technique. You can see the entire card in the video below. 


I love how the flowers look so gray in the beginning but really shine as white by the end. It's all those "another things" that come together and make it happen haha! 


I swear I am actually going to mail this. Soon. 
Honest. 

Thanks so much for visiting!

  10. I still get surprised at how much difference the 'outer' shading makes. The flowers really do look like they've been popped up. Amazing.
