Card Exchange - Spring Watercolors

I am trying to get caught up on things.  

I decided to make some spring watercolors for my March exchange cards since the spring solstice is on Sunday.   I tried some wreaths yesterday which did not go well so I turned the paper over and tried again.

Some purple and pink blossoms on sprigs of greenery.  I used my Loew Cornell palette for these pretties.

A bit of spattering with the flower color and the leaf color and let it dry.

Fortunately, I still had 8.5 x 11 card stock which was not packed but it was white.  I did not like the idea of white watercolor paper on white card stock so I painted the edges of the card base with black watercolor.  Love the shades in the border when I adhered my watercolors to the card front.  With the photo studio also packed away I had to come up with alternate photo location. 

These are pressing and will be off to my card partners this afternoon.
