My attempts at water coloring, most ended up in trash can. This was retrieved from trash as the more I tried the worse it got. I decided to die cut it, popped and mounted, stamped Thank you from SU Wonderful Words and called it O.K.
I think I need to take a class...you would be appalled if I told you how I did this, so I will keep the details to myself. :-)
Supplies:
Tim Holtz Peeled paint, Pine Needles
Lovely Lilac SU
PB stamp "Andante" (Another one of my very first stamps)
SU Spritzer

Oh no, no, no my friend. This is what is so beautiful about watercolor. I Love the loose free form you have achieved, it's absolutely beautiful! And your die cut frames it so nicely. I'm afraid we'll be expecting some more watercolor from you Peggy (insert a smile). Into my favorites folder for this delight.

The thing I like most about water colour is the way it flow so unpredictably. It has a spontaneity that other media lack. This card really epitomizes what I love about it. On top of that I love Irises and yours are gorgeous! So glad your instinct was to save it. Gorgeous is what it is Peggy!

You are waaaay too hard on yourself - your card is stunning! I think it is beautifully coloured and I am so glad that you rescued it from the trash and shared it here :-) Popped it into my favourites :-)
