LB2016 : 5 minute flowers

Happy March to you! Just posting a quick bonus project from Life Book 2016 - this was called 5 minute flowers and was done by Martha Lever last week.
I had 10 minutes and a scrap of watercolour paper tonight, so here's my effort... Just watercolours :
and with pen added
Unfortunately the pen work is probably not sketchy enough. I think I liked just the watercolour effect alone better, but I love the torn edge and the machine stitching to finish it, and it's another tick off the Life Book project list. 
I've been making some changes in the area where I make art, so not so much time for art making this week, but even this little effort makes me feel better :-) I get twitchy when I don't create! Hope to share more soon.

    Thank you so much for sharing, it is lovely, I've been playing with watercolors myself and putting them in instagram https://instagram.com/alifefullofpassions :) but now I know for sure that my mistake is not using watercolor paper, it looks so much prettier :) Love your flowers

    Clemencia - Thanks :-) Watercolour paper will give you a lovely new effect to play with.

    I love the watercolour effect on its own too, but I think the penwork really gives it more definition and pops it off the page. Loving the stitched borders! I was going to get my sewing machine going as well, but then I took the easy way and just drew a border with my pen!
