I had some fun with my Zigs.
I found this piece already stamped, embossed and ready to color.
I pulled out my Zigs and went to work.
It's really not work. I find watercolor very relaxing.
After coloring the flowers and foliage,
I added a light wash around it all using a wet on wet technique.
I've used stamping, watercolor wash, heart embossing and die cutting.
The Design team along with our Guest Designer, Cathy R.
have lots of inspiration for you at the challenge site.
The gallery is full of beautiful entries too.
Not sure what a watercolor wash is?
We have links to videos here.
I'll take this over to
This week they're asking for CLEAN AND SIMPLE.
Enjoy!
