I had fun swatching out the Liquid Watercolors, and then I also spent some time painting the beautiful new Bee Florals Window Fancy Die. I used many of the colors, including just a touch of purple in the flowers. I also added some Black Liquid Watercolor to the bees.
I turned it into a card by mounting it onto a panel of Arctic Cardstock, then added a message strip from Everyday Sentiment Strips, creating little fishtails on the ends of the banner with my scissors.
Next, I played with the Liquid Watercolors by mixing them with Hero Paste. I used Neon Pink, Neon Orange and Neon Yellow, and spread them through the new Lacy Floral Stencil. I adore this stencil, it's so pretty, and sturdy enough to take a beating with all the fun mediums. I finished the card with more Everyday Sentiment Strips.
Here's another look at that yummy texture!
