Let me show you my card...
This is a pretty simple card to make, I took a water color panel, cut along it's edge (using PPP stitched border die), embossed it (with Darice Birds in flight folder) and water colored at the other edge after stamping the sentiment. Next I added wood grain patterned paper from Echo park to finish my card. I am sharing this at The Paper Players #241 - CAS + water colors and Just us girls challenges # 289 - Brown, white Plus yellow
