I was so excited, because I have that image and that wonderful grass punch! Whoooo Hoooooo. So I fussed and I fretted, what can I do that would be different but using the same two things? I decided I would pull out a gift my friend Jodi R recently sent me and tried those twinkling H2O's. OMG why did I wait to use these?! I love them!!! Then I added some watercolor pencils into the mix, also new to me. Then I was trying to get the BG to look like the Basic Gray BG paper and used bronze glimmer mist and sponged on some colors. lol. Oh well, I will keep trying. lol.
Thank you for opening up your wonderful gallery to us, I love your cards and comments!

This is so precious. I don't even know what H2O's are, but I think I'm going to have to get some. See many who use this technique. Again, precious card.
