This is for MIX80 - Sparkling Watercolors. I used watercolor pencils to color in my image. My "sparkles" are the Stickles on the ribbon around the cup (which you can't really see in this photo but looks nice IRL) and my sequins.
I was just starting to work on this on Saturday morning when I took a look at the Inspiration Challenge (IC453-Vintage Atmosphere) and realized I was already heading in a vintage direction and could use the website as a source for further, well, inspiration. So I'm putting it in that gallery as well.
Thanks for looking!

What a delightful image - perfect for going vintage. It's sad that it can sometimes be just about impossible to capture the shimmer and sparkle - but since we all know the problem we can all imagine how lovely the sparkle really is.

What a lovely, whimsical mix of elements here! I love the pink heart peeking out from behind your image (that birds nest in a cup..darling!!) . You've used some of my fav colors on this..the aqua and pink is great! A delightful card Robin!
