This is for Jeanne's fun mixed media challenge "Let it Flow".
Sorry about the dodgy photo,but I am still away and doing this from my iPad. I have very limited supplies with me so it was great news when I read Jeanne's challenge was letting watercolour medium to flow.
I used so much water on the Brushos powder, I could have gone for a swim LOL. I tilted the cardstock in various directions, occasionally I had to blot the flow very gently.
I cover a full A4 sheet of cardstock, there is still enough left over to add to my stash. In real life the black ink is very bold and the sentiment "You have a beautiful soul" is very easy to read.
I don't have any of my usual dotty, silhouette or garden stamps with me so I improvised by stamping the top section of the feather stamp around the little fairy.
I have been thrilled to bits at how well the Prosmacolour pencils colour over the top of the Brushos. I stamped the fairy directly over the Brusho background using my MISTI.
Tip: Leave the stamp in place on MISTI so that an extra inking can be done after colouring.
I added a few handdrawn water drops and doohickey sticks. I outlined the feather with a white Sharpie paint pen. Thank you for looking.

OMG Susie, you could probably make a masterpiece stuck in a cave with only mud and twigs. This is just spectacular. I am actually sitting here burried under every art supply I own, trying to get my card to work. Your colors are gorgeous and the patterns look beautiful. Faved.

"Flowing" would be an understatement on your glorious card, Susie! Love how your vibrant colors mix and flow into a gorgeous bg for your sweet fairy and floral images. Your work has such depth and your artistic talent has no bounds.

Oh wow, beautiful!!! I'm laughing because I used the flower image too, will be uploading it later today. But I'm too restrained, I imagined something more like what you have, but when I tried it....it's gone into my spare background box and I started over again. But it's the lefthand page that has totally wowed me. It's as if you'd made an abstract painting of a flowering shrub and then added the fairy and all the other details. Into my favourites :-).

Wow! This is so vibrant, Susie. I love what Francie said about the cave, mud, and twigs. That is so true.
