Watercolor Class Day #2 Homework

The Online Card Class Watercolor class is really fun yet I'm a little behind in my "homework".   Lesson #2 was about more background watercolor techniques.  I started this card last week with the Color Dare #93 colors and just finished it today.  I used 4 Close To My Heart ink pads for the watercolors.  First I placed an acrylic block onto the ink pad and then misted with water and used a brush to paint on the colors.

Close To My Heart products used:

    Cranberry Ink

    Twilight Ink

    Honey Ink

    Juniper Ink

    Friendship Alphabet stamps (retired)

    True Teal CS (retired)

    Metallic paper (DOTS retired)

    3D Foam Tape

Other products used:

As this is a special birthday card for a dear friend I'm also entering it into Seize the Birthday.
