I made this card for todays color challenge. These colors just screamed ocean to me, so that is what I went with.
I water colored on a very pale green pattern paper. This is the first time I've every water colored with reinkers!
I really enjoyed making this scene. I am so hungry for anything to do with summer! We got more snow today, [:{ This makes me very sad, so I'll just stay in my craft room and dream of summer!
Thanks for looking!

Isn't it fun to try something new? You did a wonderful job - I love the variations in watercolor that you got, and your foliage makes for a nice peaceful scene. Your layout is nicely done also. Please see my PM...

Reinkers are wonderful for water coloring! Your peaceful scene is so lovely!

I especially like the way the horizon sun just peaking above the waters edge...way to go with a new technique...but those watercolored reinkers will be used more often now!
