Watercolor Wheat Ombre

I'm still focusing on blue skies and thinking happy thoughts to melt the snow away. We are in a drought, so I'm focusing on the earth absorbing the much needed moisture and not the snow on my toes. We are having a Spring/Pastels Colors challenge this week over at One Stop Crafts Card Challenge. Think peaceful pastels and come create with us!

Thanks for looking! Spicey Cat Chick =^..^=

My Creation

Image Detail

I seldom play with watercolors, but I fell in love with the technique again. Ombre is a hot trend and water-coloring lends perfectly to it. I watercolored the blue background and stamped over it once the paper was dry. I used Liquid Pearls for an added pop to my wheat grass.

Inside

I made the card for a special man in my life going through a challenge time. I just wanted to let him know I'm thinking of him and holding him close in love and prayer.
