Delicate Flower on a Stormy Day

I just recently heard about the Elegant Writer calligraphy pens being water reactive and it's something new I wanted to try forSimon Says Stamp's Monday Challenge: Take a Leap into the Unknown.

 

Also created for the Hero Arts Fabulous Flowers challenge.

 

Created this Artist Trading Card (ATC) by inking Hero Arts H5484 Jewel Daisy with a black Elegant Writer calligraphy pen. Then I stamped it onto 90# cold pressed watercolor paper.

 

The Elegant Writer pen is water-reactive, so I painted with water around the edges of the daisy to create a shadow. Added yellow watercolor to the center. All of the other colors are a result of the reactive Elegant Writer ink.

 

I love the soft, delicate, artistic quality of the resulting flower!
