Watercolor Meadow

Sharing a card today that I made for the LOVEFEST challenges over at Splitcoaststampers this week.  Taylor at Taylored Expressions gave us the challenge of including doodling on our cards.  I used a sentiment from the lovely set Lean on Me, then added watercolors to a wet piece of watercolour paper.  I have an inexpensive Winsor & Newton set of pan watercolors and have replaced certain colours with new pans numerous times - I find I don't need many colours, as I mix them to make up the shades required. I dried that layer with my heat gun, then added another layer of watercolors in a similar manner.  I then splattered some paint - the point of splatters is that they land randomly, of course, but in order that they didn't stray too far from the intended area I tore the edges of a post it note and used it to mask the sky,
for example, from taking on too many splatters.
I then "doodled" in lines and dots with a black fine line pen.  I love doing
this and find it's hard to make a mistake, so I'll probably make a few more!

Thanks for stopping by today!
