Watercolor Inspired

I was inspired to make a watercolor background for the Watercooler Challenge.  It was an "anything goes feminine" prompt, so I decided to go floral with some friendly colors. 

 I started by creating my watercolor background piece using two of Nuvo's shimmer powders.  I went with a soft background so I could try to either remove or add color once I added my stamped background.  I stamped the background with a black pigment ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.  I then used my Close To My Heart watercolor set to add color to my flowers and leaves. 

For my sentiment, I used some Wow embossing glitter. 

No lie though . . . I left my craft room with ink stained fingers and glitter on my shirt.  :)  Worth it. 

I hope you find some time to create.
