Glenda's paintings are beautiful!!! What a lovely talent and discerning eye! Although this simple card does her painting no justice at all, I still like it! I left it plain because I wanted to wait for an occasion for a sentiment. The colors although not really Glenda's did come out nicely and I did not want to detract from the image itself.
I used watercolor crayons to color the dampened stamp. I then misted it and stamped. I used the watercolor crayons with wet brush and markers to add more color to the Baja Breeze paper. It is mounted on an Elegant Eggplant cardstock. I will user an overlay for my sentiment when I decide what to use.
Here is a link to the IC to see the original art by Glenda Mosher.

I don't think it needs a sentiment at all, except on the inside. I think the image is strong enough to stand on its own.
Thanks for describing how you did it, too. I have some watercolour crayons, but I've never tried using them like that, only for colouring. Have to give that a go, now.
