I have long admired Sallie's watercoloring skills and decided the colors today would be the perfect opportunity to try this sweet image in watercolor. The sentiment is from SNS God is Bigger set.
I used wet paper and SU! Markers in the appropriate colors for most of this, then added some direct painting with inks when the markers seemed a bit light in areas. I matted with So Saffron and Sahara Sand.
Thanks so much for looking!

Grace, I'm honored that you liked my CAS card that much. Thank you. You did a beautiful job with your watercoloring and I love your sweet yellow little bird(could be a gold finch).

Grace, this is absolutely beautiful. I was fortunate to have just acquired this stamp set, so you certainly have inspired me :-). Your watercoloring is exceptional.
