Most Adorable Flower Teddy- Watercoloring with Arteza Brush Pens

Hey folks! I hope you're having a great day today! I got the chance to watercolor this adorable little bear from Penny Black. This stamp set is called Flower Teddy and I've had it for a while but haven't had time to ink it up. I'm so glad I finally made the time because it is so darn cute!

I watercolored on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper using my Arteza water brush pens. I like to scribble with the pens onto my glass mat, mix the colors there, and use that as my palette. Then I use a paintbrush and water to paint the colors onto my image.

For this card I worked in layers laying down a light coat of color and letting it dry before going back in and adding more color.

After I was done watercoloring I added a little shading to the paper flower wrapping with some colored pencils. Then I used a light blue marker to splatter some ink onto the background.

When I was done I used my Deckled Edge dies from Honey Bee Stamps cut out my image piece. I used foam adhesive to pop it up on brown cardstock that I had speckled with brown ink.

The sentiment was from a different set... maybe an Altenew set but I can't remember which one and now I've gone and put away all of the stamps that I've used so... we may never know which set it was perfect for what I wanted. 

Do you all have stamp sets that you love but you never seem to use them because it's hard to find the time? I'm so glad that I finally found the time for this one. It's been a while since I've been able to play along with a Simon Says Stamp Challenge so I'm entering this card in this week's Wednesday challenge of Anything Goes.

Ok, I'm outta here for now but I will be back tomorrow for the Hero Arts release so I will see you soon! Have an amazing day!
