Watering Can Watercolor

Dear Ones~
It's a sunny day here in Northern Michigan. But we had -5 when I got up this morning. I know that's not as cold as some places. And as everyone keeps saying, "After all, it IS winter!!" Geesh!!!! Enough already!! I still don't like it!!!

Today's card was made for the Mod Squad Challenge. This week the challenge is to include water somehow in your card.

Here's what I came up with:

My dear friend, Kathy sent me a HUGE stash of die cuts for Christmas, and I have just now gotten around to using some of them. Thank you, Kathy, I can't wait to use more!!! I thought the watering can would be just perfect for this water challenge. Plus I used my beloved Brusho Crystal Watercolors for the background. I sprinkled salt on the wet watercolor to get that wonderful texture. I love how salt makes the watercolor bloom. 


Here are the ingredients:
GKD White and Jelly Bean Green Card Stock
GKD Flowers Bloom Stamp Set
Brusho Crystal Colors
Die-namics Stitched Circle Stax Die
Spellbinder Scalloped Circle Die
Cuttlebug Tiny Bubbles Embossing Folder
Stampin' Up Boho Blossoms Punch
Martha Stewart Leaf Punch
White Enamel Accents
Stash Pearls
And of Course the Watering Can and Flourish from Kathy

Thanks for stopping by, I always adore your comments. 
Stay warm and well my friends!!!!

    Boy, I really wish I had thought of this! It is soooo cool how you used the watering cans and the salt. I never heard of that. You are such a creative lady. Love the little flowers on the can too.

    This is beautiful! I love the gorgeous flourish with the pretty pitcher and flowers. You put this together just perfectly, and your watercolored background looks great! Cold? Me, too! What we need is a big blanket that would spread from your house to mine! lol
