WCW303 Hyacinth a Thought of You

Photo Details

Poster: cdimick

Look at this! I actually did the watercolor challenge on the day of the challenge! Should I have been doing something else? Maybe... I followed the steps in the tutorial adding gold splatter and also gold metallic watercolor on the edges of the rectangle. I added my painting to an Elegant Eggplant card base. I found painting hyacinths challenging but I did have fun.

I completed the card with a heat embossed sentiment popping it up with dimensionals.

Thanks for the challenge and thanks for looking!

I love your intense colors and love the gold edging, the flowers in the bg are perfect to give a dimensional look!!

Catherine: I really love your vibrant colors and the shaped of your shadows and flowers. Love how you tied it together with the gold around the edges.

Oooh I like the texture of the paper you chose here, that adds such a cool element of texture to the loose and dreamy side Catherine

( we all need more practice... I think we are dusting our homes too much hahahaha)
