SSC125 Wonderful Watercolors

Time for another Sunday Stamps Challenge.  This week is a beautiful color challenge.

The weather was fabulous this weekend.  I took my colors outside and started watercoloring a background.  I then tried to add some texture by doing some color lifting through a dot stencil.  Here I don't recommend rubbing, as it ends up pilling the watercolor paper.

I really didn't want to lose any of the watercolor background, so I made the panel into a tall and skinny card.  Thank goodness for the Envelope Punch Board!  I'll be able to create an appropriate envelope for this odd-sized card.

HINT: If you have trouble getting a clear stamped image on watercolor paper after stamping several times, don't be afraid to fill in the image with a marker or Sharpie.
