Tonight I've been watercolouring. I've had a set of watercolour paints for years but they haven't seen the light of day for a very long time.
So here's a little card I created to combine a few challenges...
I downloaded a free digi and printed this onto watercolour card which just about made its way through my printer! I gave it a blast with my heat gun to set the ink as I had no idea if the ink would bleed or not. As it turns out it was fine when mixed with the water. Once the card was dry I stamped the sentiment. I cut the panel down and mounted it using 3D foam strips onto a purple card base, picking out the colour of the towel.
Materials used:
- Digi image: Opal Manor - Beach (free download)
- Watercolours: Daler Rowney
- Stamp: Paper Smooches - Sentiment Sampler
- Ink: Versafine - Onyx Black

Bye for now
Great water color card Anita.
