Watercoloring w/ SweetStamps


Good morning sweet stampers!!
Do you like to water color?  Or are you one to admire those that love to watercolor?
Well I fall into both of these categories. 
I love the look and effect that watercolors can give an image and I also admire those that color without effort. 

So this week at SweetStamps, we are challenging to:
Watercolor 

Here is my card for this weeks challenge:

You can watercolor with a variety of coloring media: watercolor pencils, watercolor crayons, reinkers and dye ink pads.  A nice thing about watercoloring is that it can be messy or outside of the lines and it still looks beautiful. 
Come join in the fun and share your creations with us, we'd love to see your artwork. Remember to use a SweetStamps image on your creation to get an extra chance at winning $20 of rubber stamps from SweetStamps.com.
