For Ways To Use It Challenge 407: Resolution Check In. . .
My images are from Flourishes' Dreaming of Florence stamp set. I love the whole Italy thing going on in this set.
I stamped on Canson watercolor paper using VersaFine ink, and then watercolored my image using dye inks and a watercolor brush. I stamped my sentiment from the same set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The pearl flourishes are Zva Creative CRX-05CB-131 and CRX-05CB-110. Everything is adhered with ISP tape and Zva Creative Adhesive Dimensionals (all available at i {heart} papers). The lace trim is Ivory Crochet Lace from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
One of my resolutions was to do more watercoloring again. It is my favorite coloring medium and last year I got away from it and didn't do it very often. So it will be a resolution for the coming year too
Thanks for taking a peek~!

Judy, your watercoloring talents are evident on this card. Glad you used them here...and hope you continue to do so. A beautiful Italian wine-themed card.

This is so beautiful and very Italian looking with the colors and images, Judy! My husband was there on several Mediterranean cruises (navy), and every time he sees something Italian looking in the stores like this he tells me, "That's so typical Italian."
