WWC210 - Heidi's All About Occasions Challenge

https://watercoolerchallenges.blogspot.com/
Amost any time can be an occasion for thanking someone. Heidi hosts our Occasions Challenge this week, and I always need thank you cards.
Do you remember a few weeks ago when I attempted to do no-line watercolouring and it didn't quite go the way I wanted? If you missed it, check it out here. 

I wanted to give it another try and the Beautiful Day stamp set has two gorgeous line drawing images that are perfect for this technique. The flower petals are coloured with only one colour - Blackberry Bliss. For the center, I used Crushed Curry as the base and when that was dry, dotted over the top with Mango Melody. Shaded Spruce was used for the leaf and the fun bubbles from Beauty Abounds are stamped with Blackberry Bliss.

The flower was done on watercolour paper then matted with Blackberry Bliss.  On the Crumb Cake background, I stamped more of those bubbles  with Crumb Cake ink.  Love those bubbles!

What Occasions do you have coming up?  Show us your projects at Watercooler Wednesday.

    Well done Gail, this is a beautiful card and you've inspired me to try no-line colouring again.
