I'm playing along with a couple of challenges. I took out the watercolors. I haven't played with them in a very long time. The challenges are CAS Watercolor Challenge, Die Cut Diva's and Double D Challenges.
I created a backdrop by splotching around some yellow, umber and green watercolors. Once that was dry, I stamped in very light ink a portion of an IO poppies stamp. I have about 1/3 of the stamp on my panel. I went for a no-line watercolor look. After adding several layers of color and allowing it all to dry, I added a sentiment from CTMH. I die cut the panel, and mounted it on a pale green card base.
Thanks much for stopping by!
