I started with watercolor paper and the gansai tambi watercolors. I created a rainbow panel. While that dried, I grabbed the sentiment from WPlus9's Sending Sunshine stamp set. My watercolor piece was die cut using Simon Says Stamp Stitched Flourish. I used the flourish die to position the sentiment on my block for stamping so that it would follow the flow of the flourish. Using Versafine Smokey Grey ink I stamped the sentiment and the trio of raindrops.
Now I was ready for my flourish, but it wasn't dry yet, so I got out the heat gun and dried it. Sometimes I queue up a play list of crafting video's on You Tube and watch them while I craft...virtual crafty friends! I got a bit involved in a video and burned a spot on my watercolor panel...but no worries...I was able to cut around it.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
This is my second post today, my guest designing post at Merry Monday is HERE.
