Well, thank you ladies for a trio of wonderful challenges this week. Karen, when I saw the colors you chose, I couldn't help but think of poppies! Linda, thank you for hosting the second week of our new Wednesday challenge, Watercolor. This is something I want to explore. Dina's tutorial was most helpful. And Lisa, over on the Ways to Use it, called for working with a stamp you had never inked before! Both the stamps of my card are uninked till this morn.
I have to say I was intrigued by the first Watercolor Wednesday that Kia launched last week. The use of the acetate 'paint brush' looked so interesting. And so I began with an acetate palate in the three closest shades of the Color Challenge 795. I stamped the poppies over the 'laid down color'. Used two tiny brushes to wick some color into other areas, leaving the blocks of original color as well. I LOVE the free spirit way this came about!
Not only do I relate to the quote from Ivan Turgenev, but I love the vertical layout.
If we
wait
for the
moment
when
absolutely
everything
is ready,
we shall
never
begin.
Thanks for stopping by today, what are you beginning today? I have seriously begun my
watercolor practice...I like it, Linda!

Another wonderful Susan original! You have the best collection of sentiment stamps. Full of meaning and encouragement. The vertical alignment is perfect to tuck in beside your beautiful poppies. Love the seed beads in the center.

So glad you joined the watercolor challenge. Good smooshing for your background and, of course, I love the poppies. Watercoloring is so much fun!
True sentiment, also.
