Hi there!
My card today was inspired by the water-colour technique used in this card designed by the very talented Darlene DeVries, as well as this fabulous sketch by Just Add Ink Sketch #264 :
It might be a little difficult to see, but the background of the base card has also been water-marked using Versa-Mark. It’s a little more layered than usual for me, but I love the colour combo, and am happy with the way it turned out!
I am also linking up to the following Challenges:

This is beautiful, Hazel. I love the contrast between the soft watercoloured flowers and the bold black in the baker’s twine. Great use of the sketch. Thanks for playing along with us at Just Add Ink this week!
Those flowers are so soft and pretty, beautiful watercolouring. And you used the sketch brilliantly, especially love the twine. So excited to see you at Just Add Ink and ATSM this week!!!
