Here it is. My first attempt at the MIX-ability challenges. Can you see the shadow of the rice?
The watercolors I chose have a metallic sheen to them, kind of like mother-of-pearl, so I'm calling this a free-for-all challenge card as well. I tried to photograph the card in the setting sun, which was a failure. The shine reflected everything and all I got was a bright card front with a barely visible sentiment. So trust me. It's pearlescent.

Brenda, this is gorgeous! The soft, mottling colors of your watercoloring is so beautiful and yep, I can see the rice. Photographing shimmer is always difficult. Fantastic card!
