This month’s Paint-a-Flower is a wild bunch of peonies, native to Japan. They are much smaller in size compared to the peonies you might be familiar with!

I really enjoyed that this set was a grouping of flowers that I didn’t have to do a whole bunch of masking to arrange. It was like a ready-made scene that fit perfectly on my card front sized watercolor panel. That meant that I could spend lots of time exploring the new Autumn Festival Watercolor Brush Markers and how I would make these florals come to life.

I love how you did the flowers! Such a beautiful coloring with these new markers!
Nicely done, the set has endless uses for creative ideas and use with all types of coloring. Love your card and colors as well. This brings me to the end of my happy hopping. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
Beautiful card! The new stamp set is gorgeous.
I really like the orientation of the flowers and how beautifully colored they are. The background looks great with the colors you chose for the flowers. Thanks for sharing your talents.
Gorgeous! Water coloring is still mostly a mystery to me – I try, but don’t have very good luck yet. I love when others do it though. Your background and the shadows you added are the perfect touch.
Beautiful colors! Love the stamp set.
What a beautiful card! Thanks for sharing.
This is gorgeous and needs to be framed! Beautiful! The colors in this watercolor marker set are so pretty and cannot believe how many shades are possible.
Nicole, the flowers are done so beautifully, but what I love and always love with your work is your background. You do the most beautiful watercoloring of the background I have ever had the privilege to witness. So stunning and it brings the eye to the flowers. I am just in awe.
Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful card! I really like the way you watercolored behind the flowers, creating your own matting. Very artsy!
Very pretty! I really like how you kept the flowers white with some shading and colored the centers. And the background water coloring was perfect.
Beautiful card! This new stamp set is amazing.
Wow! Your card is so pretty! It gives me a restful, peaceful feeling! Just gorgeous!
Gorgeous looking card! I think you need to put it in a frame! It is just so beautiful looking!
Just so beautiful! With that lovely neutral background it’s all so pleasing to the eye. I am in love with this stamp set, especially that the flowers are already grouped so no masking needed! ♥️
Another beautiful card – hoping that the new colours made it to ink pads!!
Nicole! your card is fabulous! your coloring with the new watercolor brushes is perfect!
