Today is Mother's Day! I had to go to work for awhile today, but I still found time to play. I was inspired by a gorgeous stamped scene that Shari Carroll made with these Claudine Hellmuth stamps. I first saw it about a year ago. She did an entire street scene in watercolor. I only did a few elements, but I really enjoyed playing with different watercolor mediums. I found that I like water coloring with the Ranger distress inks the best. They're sooo easy to use. (note lesson #1: Shari Carroll is much better with watercolor than I am!)
I am linking this to the Simon Says Stamp and Show "Inspired by" challenge. Thanks for the inspiration Shari! I am also linking this to the Moxie Fab World "The Wonder of Watercolor Challenge". As well as the Twisted Tuesday Free for All.
I love this...the watercoloring is wonderful!
