I love playing with watercolors! I like the fact that the end result is always a surprise once the paint is dry. I just made puddles (another fav. pastime!) and watched the paint do what it wanted to on the pig and the hearts. SO fun.
After I took the photos I noticed a tiny piece of foam tape backing sticking out of the heart at the bottom, then I lost my light and couldn't take another one without the flash (and the flash doesn't show the nice shadows of the popped up layers) SO, I opted to show it "as is" (much like the used car my DD is about to purchase!).
I LOVE watercolors, so today's WT challenge was right up my alley (thanks a bunch, Lindsey). The main card base is watercolor paper, and the main image was stamped on watercolor paper, as were the hearts in the corners.
As for the sketch, thanks to Cindy and Rox, (it was only a matter of time til they used one of your beauties, Cindy!). It was easy and fun!
All stamps are High Hopes. Ribbon from a clearout bin at Michael's. Paints are Twinkling H20's.

Oh Crissy this is so cute.... Love When Pigs Fly, too cute. You have done an awesome job with this sketch, and of course your watercoloring is always Superb.
I saw that ribbon at Mike's and didn't buy it, now I wish I had. Was trying to be good, once I put one thiing in my cart I just keep adding, --I need to be a good girl, but it sure is hard when i see what everyone does with all that great stuff.
