I chose this dancer as my inspiration. I prepped the watercolor paper by painting on a thin layer of gesso, then using my stencil I applied gelatos in pinks using my finger and water. After that dried I sprinkled on a few brushos in purple and orange and spritzed with water. Leaving the stencil in place I overstamped a music bg. I might save this card for HYCCT in October...think it would be a good extra to include in my box.

Layering those notes over the watercolor outline was a terrific idea! Great CAS card!

Fabulous! Love your design and the music background. Such lovely color. It's a beautiful card. How sweet of you to think ahead for HYCCT. Good idea! I might start a box of hope cards myself. Thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous, Polly. I love how your little girl came out with such pretty colors, and I love the over-stamping of musical notes too! A beautiful CAS card!
