This Crocus image was stamped in Versamark and embossed with Black Embossing Powder. I then used my Aqua Painters to loosely paint the images, purposely not staying within the lines.
I used Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green with a touch of Daffodil Delight.
Tip: Some colors just do not play well together and turn a muddy brown or gray when mixed. Purple and Yellow are not a pair that play nicely. Test your colors before adding to a project, or visualize a color wheel and avoid mixing colors that are directly across from each other. Notice I kept a white space between my Daffodil Delight flower center and Highland Heather petals.
I also let the whole piece dry and then added a tough more intense color to get more variety of color values. If I had attempted to do this when the image was still wet, the added color may have just blended out into the wet color and not stand out as darker.
I show how to add the color in this video:
