Hi Hollowers! I am excited to be hopping to celebrate another Altenew release! I love Paint-a-Flowers as it allows me to try out new techniques and I’ve been taking some watercolor classes online and I wanted to share an a-ha moment with watercolor that I learned and it creates an amazing effect too! As part of the Paint-A-Flower release, we also have a fab new paint palette too that’s great in the craft room or on the go!

Resist looks like a fun way to color it! I could see coloring across in stripes, then following up with more intense colors to detail the image, following the colors in the stripes. Hmmm… Thanks for sharing!!
