It's quick, easy...

Watercolouring in cohesive colours - Altenew Watercolour colouring book & Brushes!

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team.  Today I was able to create a lovely big card (5x7") using one of the stunning florals in the Altenew Watercolour colouring book.
