I was sitting on my couch thinking about today's colors and how to make the two blue shades compatible with one another and I thought that using a watercolor blend from yesterday's TLC would be one way to do that. Then I thought about yesterday's CAS challenge to glitter your greeting and SHAZAM! I thought let's use my new SAB set. This Bontanicals for You set seemed like the perfect blend of elements. I used my markers to color the stamps and spritzed with water and stamped onto the watercolor paper. One of my leaf sprigs got too much water added and made a blob instead of a sprig. So I stamped it again without adding any water and then to make it look like I intended it I went back in with a wet brush and some diluted Wild Wasabi marker to add "blobs" to all of my leaf sprigs. I added Wink of Stella to glitter my greeting. It is a shame that the Wink of Stella shimmer just does not scan well. It is very pretty IRL.

Love this sentiment stamp, Kathy, and it looks great with the watercolor look! And great job on the save on the "blob" - one of the great things about watercoloring is that it can be very forgiving (at times)!

Kathy, your card is beautiful and bold. Love how the sentiment takes center stage and is enhanced by those pretty flowers. Nice job on combining the challenges.

Love your color choices and awesome job saving the "blob". I really like the sprigs this way! Thanks, again, for playing along with this week's CAS challenge, Kathy!
