I don’t do it very often, but I really enjoy water coloring. I love the relaxation it gives me and the effects I can get with just color and water. So when I saw this Slow Down, Enjoy Life printable I was inspired. I loved the way the font paired with the flowers. And although it isn’t watercolored, it made me think about watercoloring.
So I pulled up Illustrator and chose a fun quote and left LOTS of white space around it. Then I pulled up a photo of shamrocks, and started sketching a few around my quote.
When I was satisfied with my sketch, I pulled out the ink, water, and brushes and started painting. After drying I added in some quick little details with a marker, and it was done! 
I love that it was pretty quick, but I still was able to come up with something I love for the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day season.
It was so much fun, that I thought I’d like to share it with you. So I turned it into a free 8×10 printable you can share or keep for yourself.

Why is it that when I try to pin the only pin photo that will come up is the pic of the 3 sisters?
Hmm, I don’t know! When I tried it they all came up. I’m sorry!
VERY cute. I see you use Stampin’ Up! ink!! 😀
Yes, that’s how I learned and I love the saturation I can get with ink. But I want to try actual watercolors too!
I loved your pumpkin painting and now you have done this lovely shamrock. I framed the pumpkin and I will do the same for this. Thanks a bunch. Keep them coming please. I have the perfect niche for these 8X10 pics.
Aww, Gloria, you just made my whole week! Thank you so much, and I hope to do many more! Hugs!
