Sweet Grapes

Photo Details

Poster: Wendybell

I did this for TLC118, and it didn't turn out quite right. This is supposed to be the "Wet Watercolor" technique, but I could never get the really "watery" look (and this was my third attempt!) Oh well, guess I need to practice some more . . .

Well, even if it didn't turn out the way you wanted, it's very pretty anyway! Great colors!

The addition of the gingham ribbon really makes this card pop. Love the blues.

The card looks great even if you didn't get the water color thing going on. The colors and layout are beautiful!
