Your flower is so pretty Christine. I really enjoyed playing with this technique and hope to get more stains soon to do more of it! :) Love the doodled border. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour! xx

Unbelievably well done! After failed attempts at this I can appreciate your work. You blended your stains perfectly. You have inspired me to try again!
