Hi everyone. I had some fun playing with watercolor paper and re-inkers. I heat embossed this large rose from SU! and then wet my paper and added re-inkers with lots of water. I splattered the rose with white and also with Crystal Effects. For the leaves, I simply die-cut them from watercolor paper, sponged on the green ink and then used my Aqua Painter to add water. A simple sentiment finishes the card. It's fun playing with watercolor paper ... you just never know what you're going to get! :)
I'm going to enter this into a new challenge blog run by the very talented Virginia Lu --- Virginia's View Challenge #1 is Watercoloring. There are lots of very beautiful entries ... so much to look at!
And I'm entering this into the 1st challenge at the new challenge blog - Time Out, run by two of my friends, Sandie and Nonni. The first challenge is to be inspired by these words: Dancing in the Rain. My rose has been out dancing in the rain :) .... can you see the raindrops on it??
