I just put the finishing touches on a few ATC's and wanted to share. I kept these simple...just Micron pen and watercolor with a bit of white gel pen here and there.
I have to really concentrate on not overworking things so these little quote cards offer a good opportunity to practice stopping before things get muddy.
I've always believed less is more when it comes to calligraphy and watercolor.
That's really it for now...just wanted to share these before I start packaging them up to mail for a couple of swaps. I hope you're enjoying this day, rain or shine.
Linking up today with:
The photo is gorgeous and I love your ATCs. The lettering is great with the subtle grey shadow. I must work on my lettering! Do you mind if I PIN your entry?

ReplyDeleteThank you, Corrine. One of my goals this year is to really develop a few new handwriting styles. This is one of my favorites so far. Hope you are doing well.
