Hello everyone!
I'm late getting to my card tonight but I wanted to try to play with today's sketch... so here's what I came up with. I used Our Daily Bread's Quiet Waters, one of the new June Releases available now at Our Daily Bread Designs here:
I kept my coloring fairly simple and did a wet on wet watercolor and added flower soft to the trees and a few plants in the foreground. Flower Soft also is available at the ODBD Store. The gold is run through the Big Shot with a Fiskars texture plate. The piercing is from a Nesties Edgeabilities template. The rest is pretty straight forward. I'll put ths on my blog with more detail if you'd like to see more.
