Watercoloring

Hello! 
Well, we have another snow day today, so I took the opportunity to play.  I decided to pull out a set I have not used before and try a little watercoloring with reinkers.


I water colored the image with Lucky Limeade, Old Olive, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Pool Party and Island Indigo inks.  I cut the image out in an oval and backed it with a Deco Label Die Cut that I had sitting on the desk.  It had been stamped in Pool Party with the Canvas Background stamp.  To the background mat, I stamped the grass image and sentiment, Added a banner some leaves and the image panel. 
I used this week's Seize the Sketch  sketch-


I am also entering this card in-
 the Shopping our Stash challenge- Use Something New (green twine and stamp set)
the Great Impressions Challenge, which is also Use Something New
And the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge which is Something New

Thanks so much for stopping by and stay warm!

Lee Ann  :)
