For TLC555: Watercolor Powders
I used two colors of Brushos and misted them on watercolor paper. My purple seems to always want to turn pink/red. I am definitely needing more practice with this medium and am looking forward to getting it this weekend at a retreat with Lydia and some other fun peeps!
I used some fun fibers again (see my card with fibers from a couple of days ago - it came from the same paper - This is the half I wasn't so excited about, but figured I would use it anyway!) just because I like them - unpopular or not! I added some Diamond Glaze to the bubbles.
My little seahorses are in a jumble of ink - maybe from an octopus?

Fun card! Like the colors, the seahorses and the eyelash trim is neat. FELICITY GRACE is a VERY BEAUTIFUL baby girl! Such lovely, smooth skin and oh, that hair. She looks quite precious! Congrats to you and your family!

I think part of the idea with Brushos is that they do break down into their constituent colours in places, unless you are diluting them with water to make a colour wash, no? Which is what I find difficult, I like predictability and reproducibility, and just have to put that aside when using them.
Those seahorses are beautiful!! Love them left uncoloured on your beautiful background, and the Glossy Accents bubbles are cool.

I like your seahorse and sentiment combo. I know what you mean about the wc powders..I think there is a learnig curve but you did a great job on this..I like how you added the diamond glaze to the bubbles. And have fun at your retreat..I'm jealous!
