My special SCS friend Sue Nesheim (suen) and I challenged each other to come up with a watercolored main image of the Hydrangea bouquet from the Occasions Mini Bloomin' Beautiful stamp set. We decided to also CASE a card from Kim's (nutsymuhl) beautiful gallery as she was last weeks FS65 designer.

What a gorgeous example of watercoloring! I love your color choices and how well they blended together. I noticed the sponging around the cuttlebugged paper--how nice!
