Hi friends,
Here is my card for our Bridget! Hope you like it Bridget...I know I need watercolor lessons but I tried! Ok, I added some splatters...they are a little darker pink and I painted the form with a very light pink. So here is a new pic.
Here is the card I cased: IC456 Sketched Dress by bfinlay at Splitcoaststampers
I don't remember the ink to use for watercolors but it did not bleed after I ironed it anyway so it was fine. I masked the image and sprayed with water then added some Peerless with a brush and let it bleed. I heat dried it then ironed it. Added my sentiment and sequins then topped the sequins with Liquid Pearls white.
Thanks for looking!

You did better than try! This is fabulous, Robin! I love how your beautiful, mottled background matches your dress! You inspired me to try watercolor again and I could only hope to get results half this good!

Robin, careful, with results like this, you're going to develop an addiction to watercoloring too - ask me how I know!!!! Gorgeous, vivid colour all misty and blended, it's just beautiful! Love the image and paired with this verse, which is a favourite of mine for cards, I don't have the stamp, but often computer generate it. Thanks so much for all your kind and encouraging words, Robin, sending big hugs! xx

You did a terrific job with your watercoloring. You've "CASED" Bridget's bold pinks very nicely. And you couldn't have picked a better verse. Bridget is a peach! And so are you my friend.

I knew which card you used for inspiration as soon as I saw this. I too had it on my short list of Bridgits cards for this challenge but I just couldn't think of what image to use. The sequins make this card look like a pretty fantasy for an imagined 'princess' night out. Love your colours.
