This is my card for today's Ways To Use It Challenge - to use watercolor paper for our project.
I haven't done much real watercoloring lately so this was fun!
I used Tamara's Thursday Card Sketch (#70) for my layout. http://sketchesbytamara.blogspot.com...sketch-70.html
I stamped the images onto watercolor paper with TH Walnut Stain DI and embossed them with clear EP. I watercolored with markers and an Aquapainter. Added Glossy Accents to the fruit and berries to make them shiny and added Gold Stickles to the edges of the ribbon bow on the pot. I pierced the corners of the main image panel and popped it up on foam tape. The sentiment panel and small stamped circles were popped up on Pop Dots for a little extra height. Added some matching ribbons and two antique brass brads to finish it. My card is 4 1/2 x 6 1/4 in.
Thanks, Kim, for stepping in with a fun challenge today and Tamara, for another great sketch to work with!
TFL!

Oh, I love this. It is unique. What a great color combination. It has a bit of an antique flavor, yet very classy too. I like your circle addition by your sentiment. The brads go perfectly too. Very special.

Oh how beautiful! I wish I could find better words for this card, it's magic brings joy to this day! I'm just feeling the Christmas vibes, preparing already some neat gifts so guess that will put you in the spirit of things. Love the wave on your bottom panel! Love it Carla. Hope I am conveying this right.
