A new challenge is being shared today on the Impression Obsession Blog, and I hope you join the fun! The challenge is to use your Favorite Technique. Easy enough, right!?
For my card, I used watercolors to create a colorful background and image. I truly do love how watercolors flow and blend to create such a nice mix of color. For stamps, I chose to use Oriental Poppy and Rose Typographie, which is stamped very lightly in white ink over top of the painted poppy image.
Find all the details on how to enter the challenge on the Impression Obsession Blog. A random challenge entry will be selected to showcase on the IO blog and you can to enter to win a $25 gift certificate to IO just by playing!

So very pretty. You should frame it! For the life of me I cannot get this watercoloring thing...it gets very frustrating and end up in the waste basket. Ugghhh. I think you need to come over and give me lessons. :)
