And here's my card for today...
Stamps:
Infinite Beauty C5159
Eucalyptus Branch F13719
I had lots of fun creating the background for this card, and coloring the leaves. I used Caran d'Ache Neocolor II Watercolor Crayons. I started with watercolor paper, and spritzed it thoroughly with water. I added blues, greens, and purples to the panel by adding water to the crayon, and letting it drip onto the watercolor paper. Then I took a large watercolor brush, and manipulated the colors, dripping more on as I wanted the colors to change. It's a messy (but so fun) process. I love the look it created.
To color the leaves, I rubbed some of the crayons onto a palette, then picked up the color with a water brush and added it to the leaves.
I tied some fibers from my stash to the panel, and added it to an A2 card.
Inside:
