I got this stamp set yesterday in the mail, so I had to ink it up... the image is watercolored with ShinHan Premium Watercolors and Inktense pencils. There's pearlescent white acrylic paint on the wings. This was a fun image to color, and a fun card to combine several challenges at once. Certain elements make it work for Lee Ann, Tammie, Angela, Lydia, Kittie, and Stacy's earlier challenges, My background makes it fit for Stacy's (JBGreendawn) challenge and Jimmi's, too!

Dina, this is so lovely. I love the look of watercolor. And I find it very relaxing. The colors in the fairy's background are exceptionally pretty. I've not been pleased with the pan paints from Grumbacher and may switch. I'm going to do some research on the ShinHan. Thanks for listing your source.
Using the die cut with the rounded top edge was also a great idea. It softens the rectangles, which I might add, was a terrific way to use those scraps. All-in-all, it is a beautifully made card, and a favorite for me.
Just beautiful! The scene is so playful and pretty and your watercoloring is amazing! Love the bg, the beautiful flower and all those pretty flourishes.
