HYCCT1430 = Jennifer's theme is "Hope Soars". I chose a white dove which can be a symbol of hope.
WT503 = Linda's challenge was to have our own personal "favorites" on our card. Mine are watercolors, cards that "say" something or evoke a feeling(not just a pretty picture) and CAS(I'm still on the learning curve for that style).
I used the inks on a craft mat, misted with water and the paper placed down on it. Before I did that though, I used masking fluid to keep the sharp outline of the rising dove and drug some of it down to suggest movement. After I had smooshed, I came back in with some watercolors to define the design a bit.

All that you did to this water color beauty really worked well, Sallie! The dove certainly appears to be spreading its wings and soaring to its destination!

Wow - open mouth again!! This is wonderful, the dove does appear to be soaring high. tfs (thank you for hint yesterday re: drying the background I did - I have used my heating tool, but curled the paper! I just think I need to practice and I will get it!)
