I got sometime to play :)

Hello friends! I finally got sometime to get crafty, just for fun :) I was inspired by a few challenges in the making of this card. You know I love watercolors, so this card is no different but I am particularly proud as I was able to make what I wanted :D

So here's my card...

Some die cutting and water coloring and that's it :) I have used Stitched Spring Landscape die, Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting dies for the frame and Noteworthy for the sentiment. For water coloring I used Gansai Tambi Watercolors :)

I am sharing this at AAA Cards #84 - CAS Watercolor, HLS March Watercolor Challenge - Anything Goes!, CAS Watercolor March Challenge - Spring and House of Cards March Challenge - Make a scene
