For Mari-Lynn's MIX challenge today. I didn't have a lot of time this morning to read all the way through the link she directed us to, and I didn't actually use watercolours so I hope this is OK; I know I followed the principle.
Sponged strips of colour onto white card.
Stamped and embossed the flowers. Stamped the sentiment (cut in two, so I could space it across the page). Stamped and embossed the Wavy Lines. Misted with water and wiped with a cloth.
After work, I spritzed a little more water on, added a smear of gesso across the bottom and used Twinkling H2Os to add some little wildflowers, making sure I had well covered the mixed media aspect.
Matted onto black, added the die-cut bird strip and finished the black panel of with an irregular dotted white border before adding to a white base.

Oooh, I love the look you achieved with this technique - so rich with texture and then there's your beautiful colors, your black border, and the pretty row of birds - great job! Faved.

Just beautiful, Sabrina. I especially like the embossed wavy lines. The sponged colors are perfectly selected. Gotta love those little white gel pen dots....I would never have the patience to make an entire border.
