Angela from Unity gave us a wonderful inspiration photo and color scheme for our cards. The amazing Dina Kowal challenged us to use water to move our inks. I am trying to push my boundaries, so here we go...
I put a couple of drops of Bermuda Bay in water in a custard cup and gave my watercolor paper a bath in it. This gave a faint wash to the paper that you can see on the top. I stamped the Unity wildflower in Only orange on top, then upside down. I added one drop of the Bermuda bay to the bottom, helping its paper journey a bit with a foam brush. I then placed a drop of Vintage Photo ink in the middle of the panel and dragged it across the panel with the dropper. Let it dry then stamped the top image again. Matted with Early Espresso and Bazzil textured CS and done.
Thanks so much Angela and Dini for your inpiration and the challenges. Thank you all for looking and have a peaceful day.

Ooh, I LOVE this!! Thanks so much for playing along! Isn't it fun to watch the inks move, and then to see where they end up when they dry? I love the orange in this whole mix, too, and the way the vintage photo ink breaks up the blues. Very cool!!!

I agree with all of the others- this looks terrific! Love the movement that the scene has with the different layers of watercolor- just beautiful!
