Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I took some time to watercolor a new stamp.
It was fun to just relax and go with the flow of color.
I stamped and heat embossed on mixed media paper.
Zigs and my waterbrush brought the color.
The embossing makes it so easy to add the color.
Challenges:

Seize the Birthday - I added the topping of Hearts. (Well just one heart.)

Love the soft, feminine look of this card. As always, your coloring is beautiful. The magic Bonnie touches with soft blue wet on wet background, the dainty X-stitched die framing the image, the crystal drops, and the soft sentiment script. And the best part is that unique stamp with flowers over a heart! Glad it was relaxing for you.
