I picked out this beautiful image in blues because I wanted to try those colours with a Memory Box stencil I received as a gift this week. I tried on both regular card and watercolour paper and decided that I really need to use misters and not a brush - and I don't have that wide a range of blues that I can mix for misting! So I recycled my watercolour-washed background and combined it with this beautiful cactus image. At least that let me use my new dies I had to buy after seeing some of Priscilla's gorgeous cards ;-).
Watercolour paper misted and washed with H2Os.
I used another scrap of watercolour paper and more H2Os plus a drop of Iced Spruce re-inker for my feathers. The vase is punched from a scrap of old BG paper, and shaped slightly. I distressed the edges, added a sentiment and some tiny bling and mounted it on a kraft base.
Now I have to find the other image I found this morning and didn't bother bookmarking, woe is me.
Thanks for a fun and very inspirational site, Audrie.

I really love those feathers in the vase! I'm a huge fan of water colour bg's so this really appeals to me! Vivid shades, this really pops, Sabrina! A fabulous creation to follow the big reveal with all your beauties yesterday!

WOW Sabrina! This one caught my eye in the thumbnail! What a fabulous design especially with the watercolor strokes in the background! I've wanted to try this and never did but you really inspired me to give it a shot! The added pink vase really stands out against it and love those feathers! Gosh, you've had a busy week!! Outstanding!
