Watercolor Class Day 2--paints--One more card

I stamped a flower design I liked with VersaFine ink, and the sentiment.  I then attempted to color in the flowers with my tube watercolor paints ( Winsor-Newton) using crimson.  I diluted with water quite a bit to go over the flowers, and then when dried, went over again with a slightly less diluted paint of the same color to add some shading.

All in all, I think it came out fairly well.  I've never used these tube paints before, and found them a little intimidating at first, but just pushed on, and I feel that the result is a lot better than I had envisioned!
