I have love "experimenting" with watercolors. I stink at watercoloring! HAAHA - but I have had fun working, watching videos and learning. This card was a fail/learning card - I diligently watercolored it after watching a video - and it was an epic failure! But instead of throwing it in the trash. I took a wide brush and painted water all over it and then because I didn't even want to look at it, I covered it up with a paper towel. I went off to do some other things and came back to clean up. Oh my - all the colors were softened and actually looked pretty good. So.....here's my card
Now is a good time to join in the challenge -- you could win the $25.00 gift certificate that Wendy is offering in a random drawing.
You don't have to use Repeat Impression stamps but if you do, your name will be entered twice (2x) for a random drawing for a really nice gift certificate from Repeat Impressions.

Oh my gosh, this is beautiful Joy, the colors are stunning and like the background blue and the Happy Spring on that cute die!
I enjoy playing around with watercolors too! Your card is so pretty and you'd never guess it started out as an "epic failure!" Great save!
Pretty card - don't toss anything until you give it time to grow on you. LOL Love the vellum with sentiment.
Well, I for one and glad you didn't throw it out! I don't know what it looked like before, but it is gorgeous now! Love the colors and the sentiment on vellum is perfect!
So very pretty, Joy!
Stunning, Joy!!! I love it when mistakes take us to a place we accept and enjoy.
