My first watercolor wash! This is for F4A361 - Wash your cares away, and IC581 - Oh So Beautiful Paper website.
Five shades of green and two of blue Spectrum Noir Aqua markers applied directly to clear block, spritzed and then put on watercolor paper to blend. Moved the block around a bit for better color. Removed block, added a little tan here and there, and sprinkled salt on wet spots. Dried with heat tool, brushed off salt. The bottom of the page looked like a little pond to me, so I added a fence and sentiment from Beaches. The script at the top is from It Is Written, and I added a Paper Studio frame for my inspiration of Oh So Beautiful Paper, here: http://pin.it/ErKvgni. I dropped sequins from above, and where they landed, I glued them. Distressed edges with scissor blades. Spritzed with Imagine Craft Sheer Shimmer. TFL

Kandie, the watercolor wash is awesome - beautiful merging of colors and the random drop of sequins is inspired. If I had tried that, they would have landed in a clump just off the edge of the paper!!

Stunning!! I love the beach fence and the bit of writing in addition to that frame. The colors are gorgeous.

Your greens and blues make a wonderful background. Very pretty metal frame for highlighting a part of the script. The sentiment brings it all together!
