Hello friends! I'm back with a quick post today. I wanted to watercolor so I pulled out the images from this older set called "Just Breathe" from WPlus9. I love the image of the bird perched on the pretty peony that you see as my focal point. For this card, I created a background panel by randomly stamping only the flowers and leaves onto watercolor paper.
I stamped with Memento Toffee Crunch ink, and used Distress ink re-inkers to watercolor. I left this as a work in progress for a day or two. Then, inspired to join The Paper Players Sketch Challenge, I cut my panel in half and layered the focal image on the All-in-One Hexagon Die (Penny Black.)
Here's the sketch I followed. I really like the way cutting the panel worked out.
That's it for me today! Hope your day is going well.
Be yourself
Have delight in your craft
Make something beautiful!

Cindy... OMgosh this is so beautiful! Your watercoloring is lovely. I so wish I could watercolor, I just love the look. Just a fabulous card! Also thanks for the tip on Toffee Crunch... I have never used that Memento color and it really helps make your card. As always, love having you in The Paper Players gallery!
How beautiful this is, Cindy! Soft and lovely, but with plenty of color applied with your skilled hand. You know I'm a fan! I'm sorry to rush. My hands are especially full recently!
Cindy, I love that watercolor background you created and peonies are one of my favorite flowers. Your little bird nestled amongst all of those blooms adds a moment of serenity. Love it. So glad you shared this with us at the Paper Players this week
