Here's any entry in to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes. They are showcasing Art Impression Products. This is also an entry for July's Simon Says Stamp Work It Wednesday Challenge. The theme is watercolors!

I have to be completely honest about this card. I really struggled with it. I love the look of watercolor painting. I am very new to it, and having trouble finding my knack for it. So, for this card, I decided to really push myself and not give up on watercoloring. I know that with more and more practice I will get better. In fact, I can't get better unless I practice. So although I am not 100% happy with my watercoloring, this card was also a practice in committing to finish a card that I felt unsure about the outcome because of my inexperience with watercolor. In the end, it is a cute card and anyone I know would be happy to receive it.





I used a variety of Prima watercolors, and then after it was dry I added a few details with some gel pens. I orginially planned on this being a one-layer card, but the sentiment I stamped above the image was fuzzy, so I stamped it again, this time on a piece of Neenah Desert Storm cardstock and popped it up with foam tape.  Honestly, I am still unsure about this card, but I will keep it, and I will keep practicing watercoloring!
