When I saw the Inspiration Photo at Addicted to Stamps and More, I knew it was the perfect opportunity to break out the resist cards I found in the clearance bin at Michael's last weekend.
I painted with blue & green peerless watercolors and added a stamped sentiment to finish the design.
Such fun watercolory play.
It's also perfect for the color challenge at Retro Rubber Challenge Blog (because that tiny A Muse Artstamps Happy Birthday is about as retro as it gets).



Beautiful card! I love your mix of those colors together in the background! And your images are really set off by the colors! Wonderful! Thank you for joining us at Retro Rubber! I am always excited to see you in the gallery!

Hello Stephanie: I love your water color wash, looks amazing. This is something I always want to learn how to do and I will!!
Beautiful white embossed wreath, it really pops with those beautiful colors in the background.
Thank you for playing along with us at Retro Rubber, hope you join us again soon.

I love that watercoloured background, and am in awe of the fact that the colours didn’t all mush together as I’m sure they would if I tried it!
