More About The Product
Winner of Independent Publishing Awards: Nielsen Innovation of the Year 2010.
his watercolour book makes it so easy for you to replicate five flowers, which are shown in several stages, all with crisp clean images that make you feel that even as a beginner you could actually do this. The best bit is that the drawing has already been done for you with tracings for each flower. Once the tracing has been transferred to paper (or cake top) you can start on the fun bit and begin to wield your paintbrush.-Cake Craft & Decoration
