First of all, let's talk about the watercolor brushes... the quality of the brushes are awesome.
The brushes are also ergonomic! I find them so easy to hold because of the way they were designed.
The brushes truly make water-coloring a delight!
For my projects, I used Woodless Watercolor Pencils. Those fine tips of the pencils make a difference for me. If you struggle with watercoloring, I highly recommend the Woodless Watercolor Pencils.
Since the size of the image is rather large, I actually cut the piece up and turned them into two cards.
One note about the watercolor paper, they are super thick and absorbent.
With the portability of the pencils and coloring book, you can take them anywhere.
One last thing to say about this watercoloring book.....
One last thing to say about this watercoloring book.....
the watercolor paper is by far the best that I have come across. They are smooth and thick! Indeed, the paper is everything when you watercolor. You will love the floral images design and quality of this coloring book. It makes a great Valentine's and birthday present.... if you know what I mean!!?

THESE ARE INCREDIBLE! I love how you did the backgrounds and florals on the edge!
I know exactly what you mean... but thinking that they would be even better than a box of chocolates for Valentine's Day!!
Two really amazing creations, Virginia... you sure do have water coloring skills galore!
=]
These are very pretty. I especially love the way you did your backgrounds.
Very pretty cards. You have a knack for painting...impressive.
Your cards are beautiful! I love both of them. The backgrounds are such a compliment to the flowers. The sentiment you used almost looks like a brass plate or copper— very classy. I am curious if you used a gold or copper embossed piece of card stock to cut the sentiment or is it shiny card stock. Whatever you used I would like to try it.
Lovely. Can’t wait to go paint.
Love your organic looking cards. This product is awesome! It will definitely encourage me to do crafting on the go. I have a hard time deciding what to bring on the go that I end up bringing nothing.
Thank you, everyone, for your lovely and wonderful feedback. Much appreciated!!!
To Linda BL: I used a piece of gold card stock ( Altenew carries it) for the diecut sentiment and that’s it. After all that colouring, I didn’t want to spend more time on the projects.... heehee.
All looks incredible!! I love how you colored them!!
Your cards are sooooo Beautiful!!!!
These are so gorgeous! I love the warmth the brown background adds to your beautiful color combos!
What lovely watercolor and I love how you used it to make two cards. This would make a lovely gift set!
Gorgeous cards Virginia. Love the coloring and how you turned the panel into 2 cards! Such pretty colors! Thanks for the inspiration!
Absolutely gorgeous!! Love this release!!
Great idea making one into two. You could make a big set of these as a gift for someone and still have lots left over!
Your examples are beautiful! This looks like a must-have release!
Your work always amazes me, but these take the cake. The yellows with the pinks and oranges....gorgeous! I love your techniques, and am going to go back and see what you said about it. I am TRYING to learn :)
I don't know how you had the courage to cut through your project, but what a great idea to make two beautiful cards from one image. I wish you would do a tutorial on coloring with those pencils--they turned out so amazing!
