*IC454 Bon Voyage

Photo Details

Poster: hobbydujour

Nancy and Audrie presented the color palette source, Design Seeds, as the inspiration spot for today. I chose this PHOTO for mine. I used a super easy technique for this card: Chose inks that I knew would "bleed" when water was applied. Stamped the various images and then "bled" and moved the inks with my aqua brush. After it was dry, I came back and stamped the building details with the gray. Couldn't be quicker or easier for achieving a watercolored look.

Oh my gracious, Sallie. Please tell me you are going to frame this :-). I love the look you achieved with the movement of color. It so reminds me of a couple of pieces of artwork my Dad has. Absolutely beautiful!
