My Dad asked me for 50 cards, I've probably made double that by the time I restamped all the images as the ink ran when I watercoloured!
The stamp is from Elzybells, I watercoloured with Arteza pens and a waterbrush, went over with Spectrum Noir sparkle pen, cut them out, glued them to the glitter layer, left overnight to dry and then found odd yellow patches on them! Went over them again with the pens, no better, decided it went with the informal watercolour feel and stuck them on the card.
Then felt like I needed to draw attention upwards so got out the gold Stickles and added dots to the tops of the cards. Placed them where the cat wouldn't jump on them while they dried. Gathered them this morning and wrapped them up before I lost heart again with the watercolouring! This photo is to remind me not to do these cards again!!

It looks beautiful. What ink were you stamping with, because some of them shouldn't run with watercolour. Sweet stamp, and I think the sky looks great.

I started with Memento Ink, switched to Versafine (thus exhausting my brown ink supply, pretty much ) and had a bit of bleeding with both but less with the Versafine. I am wondering if the yellow patches on the hills are from the wet glue I used...

we can be so hard on ourselves. i love your watercolor card. i don’t detect any flaws. watercolor by its very nature is imperfect (drives me crazy to work with it, personally). beautiful card and congrats on being selected as featured stamper!
