I did this yesterday. It was fun. I'm thinking of making some poppy greeting cards next.
Here are some tips if you want to try for yourself.
1) Use good watercolor paper (100% cotton is the best).
2) Heavily dilute your paint with water to get the "see through" effect.
3) Make sure each layer is dry before painting the next.
Here's the YouTube video by Emma Lefebvre that I followed.

V, thank you. I'd been wanting to paint something like this for awhile, but didn't know how.
Aunty, thanks! She was good at explaining.
Les, if my cards come out, I'll give you.
Susan, thank you!
Btw, how did you dry yours?
love this!
Susan, I used a heat gun that I've had since my rubber stamping days.
Thanks Kat.
