A big congrats to Vickie, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a lovely gallery that I had fun browsing...but I kept coming back to THIS card. I loved the splash of blue water color w/ the boat image stamped on top. So I kept the water color & boat theme, but I also added a little green to the mix, used different images, turned mine vertically & added a few sequins.
To make my card, I sprinkled some Brushos water color crystals on one area of a piece of water color paper. I used the ultramarine, turquoise & a little sea green. Then I spritzed it w/ water and let it do its thing. When it dried, I put it in my Misti & stamped it (a couple of times) w/ Versafine. After stamping the greeting, I die cut it, attached it to slightly larger black layer then onto the card. I used a corner rounder on the lower edge of the card front.
Congrats again, Vickie! Thanks so much for looking! Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Julie, this is a gorgeous piece of art. I love the water colored background for the image and sentiment. The sequins are the perfect touch of embellishment..
