After having an exchange of messages with Vicki (CraftCrazy9, I decided that I needed to buy a smaller watercolor brush. So here's my latest attempt at watercoloring with the smaller brush. Thank you, Vicki, for your thoughts!
The background is wet washed with Almost Amethyst. The jumper button is clear so I attached it to Orchid Opulence paper with Crystal Effects so it would show better.
Paper: Cool Caribbean (retired), Orchid Opulence, watercolor, designer papers by Cloud9Design and DCWV Matstack
Ink: Black StazOn, So Saffron, More Mustard, Going Gray, Cool Caribbean, Rose Red, Blush Blossom (Craft), Almost Amethyst, Orchid Opulence, Certainly Celery, Old Olive
Accessories: Watercolor brushes, Coluzzle and circle templates, 1/16-in hole punch, silver brads, Wright's sparkle satin aqua blue ribbon, clear jumper button, needle, banana cotton thread, scallop scissors, Crystal Effects

Absolutely adorable! Besides liking the entire card and your watercoloring, I really am drawn to the little baby jumper button which is so perfect on this card!
