4x4 friday: watercolours


ooo I'm doing well with challenges today!
the theme at 4x4 friday is watercolours.
On this 4x4 I have water coloured the bird. I love the effects you can get colouring stamps with watercolours.
and yes! I've been using my new Inka stamps again, can you tell I love them? this one uses the large chirper, leafy swirl and mesh. I have then mounted the 4x4 on a larger card so it can be used as a greetings card.

    Joanne......I love this. The background is beautiful. I really need to play with watercolors more. And that birdie is just too adorable.

    Really gorgeous soft colour, Joanne.
    I have no watercolours so might have to do a fake job a la Tim Holtz!
