2014-04-22 16.48.21I’m doing a little watercoloring today.  A little wash of color over a pretty white embossed image is so easy to do and creates such a lovely effect.  I’ve combined the new Wildflowers & Wings SMAK kit with the May Hope Sustain You sentiment kit.  They work just lovely together.

After I finish my watercoloring, I usually set it aside and let it dry flat under my large acrylic block.  That is if I have the time, if not, I hit it with a hair dryer before placing it under the block.

** COMMENT PRIZE **
Don’t forget to leave a comment on each blog today.
We’ll be giving away 2 prizes from comments left on the participating blogs.
