Lotus

 Inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #759 today as I craft a birthday card for a friend in Japan. I did some light watercolor and then splattered with a more concentrated green. The lotus, an older Altenew set, was inked first in a light ink before coloring with alcohol markers. I do this in my Misti whenever I'm going to use lighter colors to avoid any chance of bleeding. Then after coloring, I inked again in black. I also used some watercolor on a strip of watercolor paper for the sentiment.
