***TIPS & TRICKS***

Don’t forget to let each petal dry before you go on or work with an area that is not adjacent to a wet one.

For a transparent look, don’t add too much color. You can still come back and add another layer if you want more saturation.

Work quickly and don’t try to color the image "perfectly". For the background, allow the colors to run over each other and let some tiny white areas here and there. It gives a beautiful watercolor look! 

Don’t forget that you can share your Create A Smile creations with us! Upload them on the Create A Smile blog, right in the sidebar. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day…
