Crazy day today that needed to end with some stamping therapy... I had this Stamping Bella image waiting to be inked... I splurged during their recent sale and bought myself some Uptown Girls. Colored this one with reinkers (not a great picture, and the cheap watercolor paper I buy here makes the colors blotchy... meh). I made some background paper with an Impression Obsession map stamp and some chalk inks. The sentiment and tag die are also from IO.

I love this - I think the watercolouring is great! I also love the dark brown with white polkadots on as the background - perfect for all the fun colours!

Now who hasn't heard that sentiment before. Goes perfect with your stamped image. By the way your coloring is super and your background panels work so well.

What a darling card Dina. Love the sweet image and the coloring. So, so, so pretty! Also love the background papers... and the raised edges on the panels.

So how come you can make a stamped image look like you just sketched it - and your watercoloring makes even cheap paper look expensive!!! Love, love, love this image and card - would you, by any chance, have personally heard this sentiment once or twice in the past six months as you drove across a continent???
