IC232 – took us to the Two Lumps of Sugar site where i found so many interesting and colourful items for inspiration, but my card is based on this beautiful scarf.
i watercoloured the houses, sky and ground, matted the image and stamped the sentiment. thanks for looking.

I don't remember that scarf! I have to say I think your card is nicer - it really caught my eye, whereas obviously I didn't even look twice at the scarf.

Oh, Linda. This watercolored image of yours is to die for!! I just love what you did--it looks perfect!! This is what I aspire to for my watercoloring. I'm still just dabbling along. Your colors are so beautiful, vivid and wonderfully shaded. I like how you painted in sky and grass, too. And your scarf inspiration shines through so clearly in this creation. Super job with this challenge!!
