HYCCT1430 = Jennifer's theme is "Hope Soars". I chose a white dove which can be a symbol of hope.
WT503 = Linda's challenge was to have our own personal "favorites" on our card. Mine are watercolors, cards that "say" something or evoke a feeling(not just a pretty picture) and CAS(I'm still on the learning curve for that style).
I used the inks on a craft mat, misted with water and the paper placed down on it. Before I did that though, I used masking fluid to keep the sharp outline of the rising dove and drug some of it down to suggest movement. After I had smooshed, I came back in with some watercolors to define the design a bit.

This is magnificent Sallie - definitely worthy of being in an art gallery! Thanks for explaining how you did this - I've never seen this technique done before!
