Karen is our hostess this week and she chosen lost lagoon (I subbed pool party), island indigo, pear pizzazz - desert is embossing. I made 2 cards and on this one even though I used the colors listed (with pool as a substitute for lagoon), the green seemed to have "taken over". I used the "ink swipe on a craft mat and then spritz with water" method, but I felt it was too light and so wet the cs again and then splattered some additional pear and some diluted white acrylic paint and this is what I got! Oh, well. Then I die cut the fern and a mat for the small white rectangle from this wc cs. Assembled with an embossed panel on the card front and added the sentiment strip. Come and join in the challenge - you may be our next favorite!!

I did a search for watercolor cards and yours popped up - so glad it did! This is lovely! The color combo works perfectly for your fern die cut and it was so smart of you to use the discard piece as a matching layer. Also like the added texture of the embossed layer. Nicely done! TFS
