I wanted to try no line watercoloring BUT that didn't quite go as planned. :( #fail
But that's okay; I'll try again soon with a different ink. Mine ended up not really fading out, but I used pencils to outline and add some shading after water coloring the image with Zig Clean Color Brushes - used them to do some outlining too - so lots of different mediums used on this one! I added the dots wth a stencil and faded it out towards the top; once I was completely done - even after 'flinging' on some watered down gold paint, I decided to add the word HOPE and the additional sentiment inside, 'you know you're great'. I added some pattern paper to the inside, actually mixing and matching from totally different paper packs.
