Don't you just love these gorgeous colors? So summery! I've started using watercolor pencils; I love how the colors blend. These flowers are very versatile; you can leave them flat or shape them and make them more dimensional. I die cut the flower from craft foam but only used it under the stem and leaves. I used the flower shaping tool to cup the flower heads and then added pop dots in the center to raise them up.
