I love watercolouring! I don't do it often enough but when I do create a card using watercolouring it makes me want to do it all the time!!! Anyone else in the same boat???
I made this card for a friend that LOVES to garden (not me!!!) The flowers at the top of the card are made using the three flower SU punch in the same colour paper as the card base. The "drops" in the middle of the flowers were made with Crystal Effects and reinkers. I like the added touch of the paper piercing along the top and bottom of the card.
Recipe:
Colours: Always Artichoke (8 1/2 x 5 1/2, 3 1/2 x 3), Soft Sky (4 x 5), Watercolour Paper (3 1/4 x 2 3/4), Whisper White for the large oval punch
Stamps: Blooming with Love
Other: Paper Piercer and mat pack, 3 flower punch, crystal effects and Soft Sky reinker, Hodgepodge, large oval punch, aqua painter and ink pads
Hope you are having a fabulous weekend.....ONLY 4 MORE DAYS TO FIND OUT WHAT I'VE BEEN TEASING YOU ABOUT AND SOME FUN FUN FUN BLOG CANDY!!!!!

Well I wish I could say I liked to watercolour. Don't get me wrong, I love your water colouring but mine requires a lot of practice.
Very nice card.
