Hello and welcome back! I've made a clean and simple card for the current sketch challenge at Global Design Project.
I broke out my new Watercolor Pencils and grabbed a stencil to create the background for the main panel of watercolor paper. I scribbled the pencil in the stencil shapes, then used a paintbrush and clear water to activate the watercolor properties of the pencil. I LOVE the result!

After I pulled away the stencil, the irregularities around the edges give it that "watercolor" effect, then I took the damp paintbrush and drew some of the color into the spaces between. Once the panel was completely dried I added a strip of washi tape from the Pop of Pink collection. Then I decided a bit of metallic was called for so I used a stamp from Timeless Textures to add some Encore Gold splotches over and around the hearts. I also added a bit of the beautiful Gold Baker's Twine along the washi tape and used it to make a bow attaching the tag.
Thanks so much for taking time to visit! I've added a link above to the Global Design Project challenge, so be sure to head over there and enjoy all the amazing inspiration.
