I decided to try my hand at watercolor since I was inspired by so many talented painters on SCS. I followed this wonderful tutorial by Kristina Werner. I needed a sympathy card for a dear friend. I chose an image that did not need a lot of painting. After painting the background, I heat embossed the image in white and added color to the blossoms. The sentiment is an RAK from Sallie. Thanks Sallie! Thanks for stopping by.
I am also entering this in Bonnie and Loll's CAS Mix-Up Challenge here. Join the fun there!

So soft and dreamy! I love Kristina's watercoloring too. You've done a wonderful job. I have a piece that I've done the background and you've inspired me to finish it off with this technique!

Nancy, this is gorgeous. Seems like everything you "try your hand at" turns out beautiful. Love the soft soothing colors, and I am sure your dear friend will appreciate this beautiful card from you.

Nancy, such a beautiful card. I'm sorry I missed this when it was uploaded. It's hard to believe this represents your first attempt at WC'ing. It's soft and delicate and it's the delicacy that really speaks to your genuine thoughts. Beautiful work, Nancy
