Well happy March everyone and welcome back to Watercolor Weekend. I am again showcasing one of the New Release sets called Little Girl FB. I decided to go with St. Patty’s day colors to create this Lucky Girl painting.
First, I started off by inking her up with 969 and then 569 to create a soft gray color. I stamped her off twice before I stamped her onto the watercolor paper. As always, pull the color out of the lines. I used my color cube to select the perfect colors.
I started with her basket of flowers. For the flowers in the basket, I inked the small leaves with 195 and stamped them along the top of the basket, leaving plenty of room for the flowers. I used the ribbon of small flowers from Flower Set 5 inked with 665. I kept adding additional color until I had some dark and light areas. Once it was dry, I used a white gel pen for the centers.
For the basket, I used 569 and 969 mixed on my palette. I added it to the basket making sure the edges are darker and blended toward the lighter highlight in the middle.
Next, I added some green to my palette and added it to her hat and dress. I used my fine tip to add the details onto her dress. I used a mixture of green, brown and blue to get the really dark colors under her hat brim. I also added some leaves to her hat. I masked her off and inked the tulips from Flower Set 6 with 743 and 245. I inked them several times around her. I added some 969 below her and the flowers to ground her. For the sky, I added 443 with a lot of water to her background. Once it was dry, I went in to darken some areas. I used my twin tone black to darken her eyes (added some lashes), nose and mouth. I finished it off with some multi-colored Kendra dots from Bible Foliage Set 2.
I used a sentiment from the Friend Sentiment set. I signed and dated my work. I cut her out with one of the Journal dies. I matted it and placed it on another mat made from the new Easter paper pack.
I hope you all have a creative day! Thank you for spending some of your day with us!

I really like your stamping and coloring, however, when I try to get the information from below your picture, it goes to “linkdeli” and I can’t go any further. Can you fix it so we can get the information where to buy the products without going to this website and go to the company’s site?
Hi June, thanks so much. I’m sorry you are having trouble. The links go to linkdeli and then take you to the product within the store. Not sure why it’s not going to the AI store forvl you. It may be something with your browser settings. I did test it out from my phone and it was working properly.
