hi there,
Today, we are being inspired by the Design Seed site and I chose this Underwater Brushstocks palette as my inspiration: http://blog.design-seeds.com/2014/07...rushstrokes-2/
I watercoloured the bkg with Distress inks then when dry, I stenciled various sizes of circles over the watercolour bkg using white Color Box pigment ink. Lastly, I stamped my sentiment and added the sequins.
Thanks for looking,

Karen, your card is just amazing! I love the soft colors in your background and the circles that look like bubbles.
