Forever Friends Watercolor

 Playing in today's Featured Stamper Challenge at splitcoaststampers

I found this week's Featured Stamper Daizy-Mae inspiring

I chose this beauty of Viv's

My Changes

 heat embossed my sentiment

used clear dew drops

made smaller panel and popped up with vellum

 I just love this $5 stamp set from Papertrey Ink. 

 I am using it and using it.  This is the first time I used it with watercolors.  I love how it turned out by heat embossing my sentiment in white. 

Wonderful Words - Friends Mini Stamp Set

I used Tim Holtz Distress Markers for my watercoloring. 

 I just scribbled a spot in one color, went over with my aqua brush and repeated with each color, one at a time to blend best.  When I first tried it scribbling all colors first then blending, they did not blend well cuz the ink dried.
