F4A322 Earth Day-Make a card using nature as your main theme
MIX169 Earth Day-Use water, wind, or fire or all three to create or alter your project. I used water for watercoloring
CT0416-Spring Forward-One of the suggestions is to use things that remind you of spring. I am using florals.
I made a background with Broken China distress ink.
The stencil/stamp was a handmade one created with plastic canvas. It was dipped in Memento ink and stamped all around the background. The image was colored with Memento distress markers and finished with a brush and water. White parts of the morning glory were colored with a Prismacolor watercolor pencil in white.

That plastic canvas has given an amazing effect! I'm intrigued by the bits that look like a swirled spider web; mine is just a plain grid. It gives this such a beautiful antiqued finish.

Brenda I love your texture and color. The flowers have so much dimension they look real. I like the background you created with canvas. I've always thought it should be good for something on a card. It made the perfect small texture. Lovely card.
