I made this card today for the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger Challenge Pastel Pretties inspired by this photo of sugared almonds, so it really fits today's Free for All even if it doesn't have an image of something sweet! I brushed water across water color paper, then brushed water colors across it, before spraying with water to let it move around - Dina's recent Mix-a-bility challenge got me into this fun technique. I then used a toothbrush and a paintbrush to add bigger splotches of paint. before adding buttons. More about why I made the card on my blog.

Bridget I would not have recognized this as your work, as it's so different than your usual style. But I LOVE it so much and you've inspired me to get out my paints and try something like this. The pastel button arrangement and the inspiring sentiment seem just perfect. Thanks for sharing.
