This card ended up being for three challenges.
Watercolor Wednesday challenge - No line watercoloring of and image hosted by Brenda / Benzi who included two links to tutorials and video's of ow this can be done.
The Sketch challenge, I had seen some lovely cards in the galleries using this weeks sketch and so decided to do the same.
The Color Challenge, I had all the colours on my pallet from making previous card so just went with what I had an it worked out well.
Instead of stamping the image with very pale neutral ink I stamped the image onto some scrap paper then using my light tablet I painted the image direct onto the shimmering white card stock.
While this was drying I made the background by sponging Distress Evergreen Bough Over some Shimmering White card stock and then using my splatter brush splattered water then when that was dry splattered some of the gold/yellow in smaller blobs, I also made a panel for the inside once this was dry I put it all together and stamped the greeting in Ranger Super fine Black embossing powder.
Thanks for looking. Cheers Marg

The tip about the light panel is great> I'll have to take a look at that and see if I can actually see enough to do that. Your background is gorgeous. You were clever to use this sketch and let lots of it show. your bird and flower are very pretty against the darker BG.
