Creative Coloring – AECP

Welcome to my second class for level 3.

Valentine’s Card – Heart Rosettes

It’s that time of year again! Time to create my hubby’s V-day card. This project was fun and I love the boldness of these cards.

Botanical Illustration Inspired Watercolor – AECP

This is my first course in level 3 for the AECP, and boy did I learn a lot. Out of all my courses, I think this was the most challenging. Warning: this is a picture heavy post.
