Travel...

 
Theme:  sentiment as the focal point


Hi there!

TGIT!  My weekend started today since I worked the past three days.  And, I'm happy to say that I had a chance to play in my craft room this evening.  I did some water coloring and came up with this card for the City Crafter Challenge...



I started with white card stock and added a black panel under the water colored panel.  I used inks from MFT.  A drop of ink on my craft mat and added water to my brush and applied it to the water color paper.  After I was done with the water coloring, the edges needed to be touched up.  My distress marker came in handy with added water.  It was a surprise to me how it added a nice frame.  And, I'm quite pleased with it.  I think I'll need to do more water coloring to get the same effect again.:-)

Well, friends, that's all for now.  Hope you have a wonderful weekend.  Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to drop by!

Hugs,
Maria
