I had some crafting time yesterday and here is what I made.
I've used the Darling Viola die from Poppystamps. It's been cut from watercolor paper
and colored with Zigs and my waterbrush.
I found this embossed piece in my UFO box and added some of the
watercolor to a strip of paper left from the die cut.
The most time consuming part of this card was finding a sentiment!
I'm sharing with the Poppystamps Challenge
also with Seize the Birthday using the topping.
Using snippets of watercolor paper
and with Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge
ANYTHING GOES
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!
