Post Valentine's Day Card
I'm showing the WIP of this card first because it exemplifies the conundrum I went through while trying to decide whether to toss it or keep going. Fortunately, I kept going but I was truly worried for awhile there. I saw this card on Pinterest as posted by Tatiana Craft and Artc - link HERE. She, of course, had me at hearts (my signature shape I love using all year.) She also talked about Lost and Found Edges but didn't explain what that was, so I found a video on YouTube and Anthony of Watercolor Affair gave an excellent explanation. Link HERE. In fact, I liked his video so much, I just might replicate his example for my kitchen!
I hand drew all the hearts first with a pencil and then added watercolor in pretty much a wet on dry method. Keep in mind that I hadn't seen the Lost Edges video prior to making this card, so I was just winging it. Like I said, I was so tempted to stop at this point!
