Welcome
This card started as an experiment with some watercolour paper and paints, followed by a couple of sprays of glimmer mist. I sponged the edges of it with blue ink, and then matched it up to the canary yellow card, and got stuck.

I was rifling through my 'yet to use' pile when I came across a set of stamps from a magazine, and decided to use this image. He was stamped and embossed, then coloured with Prisma colour pencils and blended with baby oil. My first try at blending, and I was quite happy with it.

The sentiment was stamped and embossed and cut into a banner shape and the edges sponged.

After mounting the banner and image on foam dots the card looked bare, so I raided the 'butterfly jar' and found these gorgeous ones cut from glitter card scraps, and had them flitting across the card and landed on the bear and flowers.

This shot shows the glimmer and gleam. To finish the card I added the bling, The strip had a few rhinestones over, so those were added to the sentiment banner.

delightful Maxine. Great watercolouring and also blending of your pencils.
You did a wonderful job on this card and your blending is great. I just bought the magazine with that image too and I must admit, I only got the magazine because of the stamps..LOL I can't wait to use in th future. We are so blessed that you joined our Challenge at Word Art Wednesday last week. We started a new Challenge today and will be delighted for you to come back and link up once more. Leaving you with this encouraging Word of God in Romans 15:4 and it says, "For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope." Have a great week.
