My husband had flowers delivered to me last week and I've had roses on my mind ever since. On Friday, I decided to try another loose method of randomly dropping a couple of wet watercolors onto watercolor paper. From there, I lightly layered in colors to form the rose. Lastly, I grab my trusty micron pen and inked in the final lines.
After I was done with my rose, I threw in a couple of final details to something else I feel like I've been working on and off for a while. I bought a couple of gel pens and decided that I wanted to try it out! So I colored in the borders, added in a couple of colors around the letters, and after who knows how long I've been working on this - I'm calling it done.
On Saturday, I woke up with a stomach ache. By midday, I added on a headache and fever. I wasn't sure if I could handle getting anything done for AEDM. I eventually found myself clear-headed enough to grab my sketchbook and doodle for a little bit.
On Sunday, I was feeling a little better, but I decided to keep it easy and just hang out with the family. Towards the end of the night, I decided to doodle a little to keep the AEDM groove going.
Now to enjoy my kids week off and get hopping on more projects!

Hi Verna- found you on AEDM, I really like your watercolor backgrounds, I enjoy seeing what everybody has been doing for their AEDM challenge, you're doing great for having been sick! hope you feel better!
ooo the rose brought a big smile to my face when I saw it! so very pretty. I love the technique you used. Glad you are feeling better and got a chance to sketch even though you weren't 100%.
any chance your hubby could explain to my hubs that flowers equal happy wife... man that would be nice... great work though and I love your sweet little zen doodles xx
Thank you to everyone for the kind comments and get well wishes!
Tracey - my hubby wasn't like that either, it took a LONG time for him to be a little more lovey-dovey. :)
