I used sketch 206 from Freshly Made Sketches along with the inspiration photo from the Sparkle and Shine Challenge to create a wonderfully whimsical watercolor card!
I knew I was going to be giving my card a hefty sprinkling of my new sequins from Pretty Pink Posh, so I grabbed an equally sparkly sentiment from the Close to My Heart Diamonds Are Forever My Acrylix stamp set.
I ALSO experimented for the first time with a little bit of watercolor paint splatter on special watercolor paper...
This is my slogan! I stamped it in Versamark Ink and heat embossed with Ranger Super Fine Silver Powder BEFORE I painted...and then matted the watercolor paper on a piece of White Daisy CS trimmed with Silver Foil Tape after the paper was completely dry. I used my heating tool to dry it a bit faster. I adore how the two silver features complement each other!

| I love how the yellow splatter ran the blob of color! |
It was super fun to get my feet wet again (oh yes, I did!) and play with my new watercolors. I have to work on my splatter technique and play some more! Thank for stopping in! :)
