Lydia's Mix-Ability challenge for us this week is to create a free-form design using circles. I did that......... and then I covered it up!
My background panel is watercolor paper, and I used my favorite homemade chipboard circle stencil for the first layer of color. I spritzed water through it so I had a bunch of fun wet circles, then dropped ink into the circles and let the colors blend and bleed as they were drying. I used Gelatos to create another layer of circles, which I spritzed and blended with my finger. After that I brushed white paint over the panel randomly.
When the panel was dry, I ran it through my Big Shot with a Darice embossing folder.
This sweet summer image and the sentiment are coming soon from Impression Obsession!
I used Touch Twin Markers to color in the image. My card also fits this week's Die Cut Stencil and Sand challenges - yay! I used Flower Soft to add some sandy texture to the corner, and modeling paste and glitter for the waves.

Just love it! The image and sentiment are terrific and you did a great job coloring them. I don't know how you made your ocean washing up, but I'm lovin' that too, and how awesome is your background!! Seriously, great card!

Dina, you had me at the end of your first paragraph! The swirling circles do belong right where they are (in the background) In a week I'm going to be laying on one these air mattresses in my sister's salt water pool - aaah. Oh cabana boy *wink*
