I admire the many talented artists on SCS who can watercolor. That doesnÂ’t happen here. I saw this card of hers and decided to give this image a go. If you have not seen her gallery be prepared to sigh and enjoy the incredible work. I did a light wash on my background which was inadequate. Off to a great start here. I did some light random sponging to bring some life into it. I stamped the image and embossed with black, then stamped the sentiment and also embossed. Using her beautiful work as a guide I gave it my best shot. Added some black puddles to the background and drips from the words. I used black Frantage for more spatter. That stuff is wonderful if you are tired of washing walls from trying to spatter. The top was bare the tag looked bottom heavy. I had no appropriate trim so I used a wonky embroidery stitch after piercing. The thread is a very thick cotton used for making re-enactment costumes. The strings are from some jewelry making things I still have here.
Thank you for looking.

Your tag is so fun and it looks like that adorable mouse jumped all they up there and wrote those words. Seems to tell a story and your watercoloring is wonderful. I checked out the card you cased and it is wonderful too. TFS. Hugz
