My LO
I scraped waterfall pictures from Norway, stamped birds.
Here's my card using oxide inks spritzed with water that I used for the background. I embellished with ombre jewels and clear shimmer on the dragonfly wings.

Here's mine!
Now usually anything "wet" is WAY outside of my comfort zone - I am VERY wary of putting anything wet onto my paper for fear of it wrinkling!! BUT - I took a watercolor class and learned some techniques that actually work for me!
Rainy days
I used 2 techniques in creating my card.
1) The background was created by using a light layer of grey and blue water color pencils and washing them with a moistened brush. Because it's on heavy duty special watercolor paper, even though it was wet, it dried (mostly) flat (PHEW!). Then I stamped it with clouds.
2) For the boots I used water based inks on pre-moistened watercolor paper to create an ombre type of background of orange and olive. I then used StazOn to stamp the boots where I liked the way the colors interacted and fussy cut them.
Finally I stamped additional clouds and my sentiment on white paper which I also fussy cut and popped the clouds.
I love how my WET card came out! Thanks for the inspiration.

I stamped the right side Seahorse and fussy cut it, and stamped shells and more small seahorses, and some scrolly swirls. I inked the cheesecloth blue, and added some real starfish and clear bubbles. This is for my Sisters Christmas gift Calendar . She is on the far right and they are at the Pacific Ocean, Washington Coast.
