I stamped the swans and the lily pads with Versafine Smokey Gray and coloured using my Distress inks and a waterbrush with Hickory Smoke as shading on the swans, and Ripe Persimmon on their beaks, which I also used on the water lily flowers with also Peeled Paint for the leaves. I then coloured the water and background using Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Adirondack Sunshine Yellow. I then added the dragonflies and used more Blueprint Sketch and Mermaid Lagoon to their wings I finished by adding the sentiment using more of the Smokey Gray ink.

Absolutely beautiful Pat, the swans are just perfect for an anniversary card too. Beautifully coloured and designed, Kate x
I have been eyeing up this set too Pat - I love the swans and they are the symbol of my town. I pass a pair of nesting swans on a river walk I do quite regularly too - all the omens are there!!! I love the watercolouring on your card. It gives a lovely delicate feel. Vicky x
