It was so exciting to open my mailbox and have this gorgeous Concord and 9th Hope stamp bundle jump out and say "take me, I'm yours". Usually bills creep out and demand "pay me now". Since thid was a prize from Lydia on Facebook, I had to give my old nemesis, WATERCOLOR, another try This is a 2 step stamp set, so it is really like watercolor with training wheels. Most of my watercolor attempts have ended up as rim shots into the trash can, so this is one of the few to actually make it in to the gallery. Such a versatile stamp set with lots of possibilities. TFS, Francie

What gorgeous flowers.
I had to laugh at your "training wheels". I was on the bus home from work the other day and there was a little boy on his bicycle with training wheels, but he'd managed to get one training wheel stuck on the kerb, so no matter how hard he pedalled, he wasn't going anywhere - till a kind lady came up behind him and gave him a little push back into the centre of the path. Easy to see you didn't need any help with your "watercolour with training wheels" to produce a beautiful card. I love those big flowers, and I'm so happy that you had a lucky win just when you had a little extra play time too!

Not only are you a talented creative person, you have a good sense of humor too. I always like reading the write up on your cards!! I love the colors you combined on this - so bright and happy - just like you. I love that comment - watercolor on training wheels. Great job, my friend!! :>)

Rim shots, training wheels....you are so funny. One other thing you are is very creative. Your card is beautiful with the two step watercoloring. And, a great win from Lydia...congrats.

Francis I can never decide what to do first when I see you have uploaded a card. I never want your stories to end, and I could sit and look at your cards all day long....oh what to do first, read and laugh or gaze and ohhh and ahhhhh. This is pure magic on steroids my sweet friend.
