My mom has a kidney stone, so this card is for her. I wanted to use the Limited Supplies Challenge (to use a rock or a stone--sorry, mom) and combine it with the SC197 and the IC149 (Japanese watercolor). I'm not wild about it, but here it is anyway.
The flowers were inked with Cool Caribbean and then misted before stamping to give a watercolor look. The red circles were done the same with Ruby Red.
The papers are SU Cool Caribbean and Ruby Red, watercolor paper scraps, and the DP is Far East Print Sunrise Squiggle.
I cut the corners with decorative scissors. The squiggly piece of paper on the left of the sentiment was lying on the table after cutting something else and I found it a home.
Stamp sets used are all SU: Eastern Blooms, Garden Collage, Simply Circles.
I added brads in the corners and pearls.
I can't get the link directly to the painting that inspired me, but if you go to this link http://www.mizue.info/work_frame.html
and look at the very last picture, that is where my inspiration came from.
TFS.
