My first watercolor wash! This is for F4A361 - Wash your cares away, and IC581 - Oh So Beautiful Paper website.
Five shades of green and two of blue Spectrum Noir Aqua markers applied directly to clear block, spritzed and then put on watercolor paper to blend. Moved the block around a bit for better color. Removed block, added a little tan here and there, and sprinkled salt on wet spots. Dried with heat tool, brushed off salt. The bottom of the page looked like a little pond to me, so I added a fence and sentiment from Beaches. The script at the top is from It Is Written, and I added a Paper Studio frame for my inspiration of Oh So Beautiful Paper, here: http://pin.it/ErKvgni. I dropped sequins from above, and where they landed, I glued them. Distressed edges with scissor blades. Spritzed with Imagine Craft Sheer Shimmer. TFL

Pretty watercolor wash, the best thing about these is that you'll never have two that are alike, and each one is perfect! Your card with all of its elements is beautiful!

Kandie, your card is just stunning! I love the colors you chose and how well they blended together. I really love this vintage metal frame you added and the random sequins that look like they were placed there very purposefully. Hugs! ~Karen.

This is gorgeous Kandie! Green and blue are my two favorite colors so I really like it. That frame is lovely and your sequins are the perfect finishing touch. I love how you "decided" where they would go!
