Double D - WATERCOLOR

Dear Ones~
This time the challenge over at Double D is WATERCOLOR. I LOVE this one, I'm so partial to watercolor!! Here's the Mood Board for our inspiration, just look at all that luscious color!!!
 
 

 Here is what I came up with:
 
I just adore this sweet bird by Unity Stamps, he has never before been inky. I had a lot of fun watercoloring him with Tim Holtz watercolor pencils. Tim's colors are PRIMO!!! The background is done by stamping Gina's background stamp onto patterned paper  with Versamark and then gold heat embossing. I love how elegant it looks.



  The Ingredients
SU Cajun Craze & Soft Succulent Card Stock
Paper Studio Metallic Card Stock
Pink Monarch Prints Patterned Paper
Yasmen Patterned Paper
GKD Elegant Script Background Stamp
Gold Embossing Powder
Unity Stamps No One Sweeter Stamp
Honey Bee Mini Messages: Everyday Stamp for Greeting
Stash Ribbon

ASPIRE to be INSPIRED.

  3. So elegant with the gold embossing! The little birdie is just beautiful and I love the torn edged matting around him. I rarely use my water color pencils or crayons but may need to drag them out. Lovely design!
