This is for the Mix-Ability Challenge to make a Masterboard Triptych card. MaryiLynn even provided a video.
I started with watercolor paper. I don't know why I chose the stamps I chose. I just play , no planning! LOL Just grabbed Fifth Avenue Floral because it was fresh in my mind. Melody, (Lacyquilter) had used it on a card, and it reminded me that I had it and had never used it that I remember! So got that out for the flowers and stamped in Pink Passion. Then remembered with water color s/b using stazon, so grabbed the teal blue and stamped the dragonfly with that. Then decided to use my color bursts instead of watercolor like MaryiLynn used in her video. I had gotten them before Christmas and wanted to try them. They were the Caribbean colors. Sprinkled the powder and spritzed with water. I let that dry, then used SU! Watercolor pencils to go over the dragonfly heads and the one flower. Then let the whole thing dry and put under a heavy book to flatten after drying. Then I cut it into panels and added the gold cord and dragonfly charms. I think both of those get lost in all the color. I went ahead and made two since I had these two bases already on my desk.
Thanks for looking.

Sharon, this is gorgeous! I love the bright Caribbean colours! And the gold cord and dragonfly charm don't really get lost...........they add a great accent.

Oh, this one is really pretty too Sharon. I love the stamping you did and the vibrant colors you achieved with your color burst powders. I love how you wrapped the gold cord around one of the panels on this card and still added a sweet dragon fly brad! Hugs! ~Karen.
