This week's challenge at Just Us Girls is to create a water color background. Of course I never read the directions. i thought we were suppose to just use any watercolor technique. So, I spent last Saturday making these really cool watercolored flower cards. Then I noticed today the challenge was for a background! There I was scrambling to remake my challenge card.
The good news is I used the same technique for today's card that I had on my other cards. I took the background flower dot pattern from Hero Arts and sprayed it with water and scribbled it with watercolor crayons in blues and greens. I spritzed it lightly again and stamped it onto watercolor paper.
I used the same technique with the flowers from Simon Says Stamp. the saying is from My Favorite Things.
Check out this tutorial to see how I made this card.
I will post my other cards soon showcasing this same cool technique. Please join us in this great technique challenge at Just Us Girls!

Fabulous background, Sue! Really shows off those pretty flowers!
Those flowers are so pretty and I love how your background turned out! I really have to try that background technique you used.
Beautiful card, Sue! I love the background and those sweet flowers!
Oh I see what you mean now, I did read this as just watercolour and not backgrounds but never mind I had a lot of fun making my card! I love your flowers too! X
