Oh, your first watercolour, I´m impressed. As I remember I found it quite difficult in the beginning when I started using my distresses. This looks like you´ve done it before. Well done! and very pretty.

How very brave of you, I wouldn't dare attempt to use watercolours but you have certainly made a cracking card with them.
Great image and lovely colours.

Wonderfully designed card. We are blessed that you linked with our Challenge at Word Art Wednesday and inviting you to join us again in our current challenge. Leaving you with the encouragement from God's Word in Romans 15:5-6 which tells us, "May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." Have a great Memorial Day weekend.

Blessings,
JO ANN
