After taking the watercolor class I thought the least I could do was try it. After spending an evening trying to color this I decided to try my hand at splatter. Needless to say it hit the trash. I will definitely need work on splatter. The next morning I retrieved it and took colored pencils to it. Well, it's not a Picasso but it's passable. Thanks for stopping by

Wow, Nancy, this NEVER should have been in the trash - even for your "cooling off" period, till you figured what else you could do with it!! Love the beautifully colored rose, and the subdued watercoloring looks great with the distressing. Got to love those tiny sewn on pearls - gosh, you are so patient, doing all the hand sewing!!!

Your rose is perfectly awesome! I love the detailing of the card layers...the pearls are so pretty! I know what you mean about spattering after you have worked so hard on the watercolor...it's scary!!! You did great though

Jaw dropping gorgeous....twice!!!!! Once when I saw your beautiful card and the second jaw drop came when I read this spent the night in a bin. I hope you know by all of these wonderful comments and Favs of the Week that YOU are in no position to judge your own work. I love everything about this gem.
