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)

Lee Ann :)
