Mix320 = watercolor quilt See Dina's tutorial HERE.
I started by following Dina's diagram, but added a few more stripes and it turned more plaid-like. I watercolored the various bands and then spritzed it with sprays. When I finished my main floral panel, I felt the bg was competing too much with it and gave the whole back panel a white acrylic wash to tone it down.

This is an eye catching creation. I really like the contrast of the definite flower image (colored beautifully I might add) and the muted, blurred BG. Pretty.

I haven't had a chance to do anything yet but I really want to do spring! LOL!
Your card is just beautiful (as is everything you do!). I love those water color flowers coming out of the frame! Brilliant!

I don't care how you did it, it's just lovely. What a wonderful Spring card. I love your flowers and how they play outside the box frame. Really pretty Sallie.
