We are celebrating this month's Daffodil with a blog hop!
If you arrive from the blog of Nicole Watt, you are in the right place.
If not, come and join the fun hop for ideas and inspiration.
This is my one of the few one layer cards with watercoloring.
I took a loose approach with the coloring. In fact, lately, I love ink-smooshing so much that I watercolored the images with the help of a piece acetate!
If you have not done Ink-smooshing, I highly suggest it.
It is so forgiving (for someone like me who is not a colorist).
It is so forgiving (for someone like me who is not a colorist).
What I also love about coloring this way is that you can continue to layer a bit of color each time with droplets of water and watercolor. I used Altenew Watercolor Brush-markers because it was so quick and easy to use.

What a fun artsy look your card has. Love the bold colors and spatters.
Beautiful! I have always loved the lose water colour look. I have never been able to achieve this look, although it looks so easy, its not! You need just the right amount of ink and colour in the right spots! It is lovely! A true work of art! I love coming to your blog and seeing all your amazing cards.
What a wonderful card, and inspiration for a non colourist also.
Love this bright & cheery card!
I love your card....free and spontaneous!
Wow! This is a beautiful card and I love the design and the coloring technique!
This smooshing technique really made those daffodils burst into life. Gorgeous design makes this card sing.

Very nice! Anxious for my stamps to arrive!

I like this look! The “ watery” look makes it feel very spring-like.
Your card is so lovely! I’m going to have to try ink smooshing, as I love the look on your card.
Love that you used the orange rather than the yellow for your daffodils! They do actually grow in many colors!

Lovely card. thank you for the inspiration.
I think I’m going to try this with my new Altenew watercolor brush pens! Watercolor made easy absolutely beautiful work!
Ink smushing is so much fun like jumping in puddles. My handI get about as messy too. But I love the effect and I really like picture staging too. A pleasant visit at your blog. Thanks
That looks so cool. I have never tried that. THANKS
Beautiful! The colors and technique!!
Great look to the coloring. I like the color combination.

Your card is so pretty! I love the loose watercolor look! I've done ink smooshing on backgrounds, but never specific images- I will give that a try!
Beautiful card and such a fun way to color the image. I think I'll try your technique.
Sweet Virginia, what a beautiful card! I really love the colors you chose, so nice and bright! Your card looks very cheery and would surely brighten anyone's day that receives it! Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us. I really enjoy these blogs!
I love how you did the coloring on this card!
Beautiful card. Love the loose watercolor look.
Thus is a fun coloring and chuckled when you called it loose coloring. All my coloring seems to get too loose more times than not. This daffodil stamp just might be my favorite so far. They are my favorite spring flower and love that there are so many I can share them with my neighbors!!
What a fun technique to use! Love how your card turned out. So beautiful!
Love your neat technique with the watercoloring. The daffodils are beautiful!!
Beautiful! I have not done Ink-smooshing in years!
Like the scene you've created with your "messy" watercoloring using this new daffodil set. It's delightful. tfs-stay well.
Love these pretty daffodil designs! Fun coloring technique!
Gorgeous colors and design. Love this "loose" look!
I love your smooshing!
Lovely! Lovely! Lovely! Thanks for the inspiration :)
