My life is rather dull (I don't mind!); I was so excited to see a cling wrap challenge again because I did TWO pieces a couple of weeks ago for WCW009.
The green background was done with several different colors of Brushos and the cling wrap. Mostly greens, I think there is some blue, black and yellow. I wish the colors had stayed somewhat separated but you know I love green, so it's all good.
I need to get some better watercolor markers than Tombow, they're kind of wimpy. I know good ones are expensive. I embossed the beautiful PF succulent (I think it could also be a flower or even a pine cone wreath) with the mint ep and went crazy with purples, greens, pinks, a little red/brown and some blues. I'm very happy with the look, it is splendid on the darker green background. I used a little strip of the green for the sentiment. I gave this a '2' just because of time involved. I love both of these techniques; this is the wc technique I'm most comfortable with. Happy happy, joy joy!

Beautiful! I wish my succulent plants were as colorful as yours. The sentiment is perfect with this and the green cling wrap is well...green..my favorite color, too so it's a winner here.

What a pretty succulent and a great background. We both love the cling wrap background and I use it a lot, expecially at Christmas.

Gorgeous background, Jean. I like the colours. I don't know about you, but I use starch for my cling backgrounds, so I'm definitely not going to keep much separation of colour. The succulent is amazing. It makes me think of opals!
