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
