Thinking of you

Hello!

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.
