This was going to be a "quick" card for Lisa's fun HYCCT1525 challenge to " stay centered". Whenever I am short on time, I think "watercolor". You can cover a large area in less time. Unfortunately, I forgot the key word...water. it always amazes me how much water a little cup can hold and how much time it takes to clean it up when you knock it over. The image is one I made from 3 stamps. Once I make a stamp, I keep the master in black and white so I can use it in different ways. The "happy hello" is one stamp. The checkered black and white lines are something I doodled, and the flower and face are 2 seperate stamps that I added to make the one larger image. This is also for the FS450. Check out this awesome gallery. I chose this beautiful card for inspiration Crafty Friends by jamieruthp at Splitcoaststampers
TFL, Francie

I always have that thought too... the water will move fast... lol but, I tend to be clumsy enough to trip on nothing so, I have those water filled brushes mostly. (( hugs))
I love how the colors are so vibrant on this Francie.
Wowzers! Love the colors! How cool that you made the stamps!!!! Beautiful watercolor! I am not the one that knocks over my water has I use smallish bowls BUT.......I have a house panther that knocks over everything she sees, and if water is involved EVEN BETTER so I have plenty of spills around here.

You have given that old sentiment set such a fresh and up-to-date look with your bright colours and border; I'd never have dreamed of using it as a focal point (in fact, I cut mine up into smaller individual sentiments!!).

Francie, I love how creative you are with adding different stamps together to get an image and then your added doodling. You creativity is just amazing. Wonderfully done on the stay centered challenge with this darling card! P.S. I hope it did not take too long to clean up the water.
