This card taught me that I am slow when it comes to watercoloring and that persistence pays off. I've finally made a card that I'm happy with using watercolors. I used TH Distress Inks - that counts as watercolor, right?
The Fabriano paper is a dream to work on, and the Peach Shimmer EP by Altenew is luscious, almost a Rose Gold, but even prettier.

Gorgeous! I've had this stamp for over a month and it hasn't seen ink - I have been intimidated by its loveliness! Your card has inspired me to to be brace and ink it up. I love watercolor and intended to use Zigs....after seeing your creation, I will use distress inks! Love everything about your card. Congrats on being a CAS fav of the week - it's well deserved!

I can see why it is the card you are the most proud of this year - it is absolutely beautiful. The watercolouring and the colour choices are perfect, and that embossing powder is a gorgeous colour!

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
