This is my card for Saturday's IC455 Color Watercolor Challenge. I CASE'd this beautiful piece of Art work as closely as I could by hand with my watercolors.
I mounted the watercolor panel on a very simple layout so not to take away from the original's artists form of painting.
I absolutely love watercolor, whether bold or soft in nature. Thank you so much Audrie and Harriet for a look at this beautiful Etsy site, and for a great challenge.

This is just stunning. I love watercolour too, and especially the Oriental style of simple expressive strokes which you have captured perfectly.

Oh my! I have always loved the soft look of water coloring and now it has become so popular in cardmaking. You did such a beautiful job and the CAS design was the perfect way to showcase it.

Yes, this is definitely a thing of beauty and should be taken off this card and FRAMED and hung! Love your free hand water coloring...a wonder to behold. You did an amazing job of casing your inspiration piece. sigh......
