Welcome to Altenew's 9th anniversary Blog hop. If you have hopped from Svitlana's blog you are right on track. You can start the hop over on Altenew Card blog

For the 9th anniversary I decided to use my favourite medium: watercolours and I used an easy colouring page from the Exotic Blooms Colouring book. It is for artist markers but I used watercolour marker and the colouring turned out nicely on the paper. FOr the centres I added some gouache.
