Muse Challenge #82 / AAA Cards #18 / SSS Wednesday Challenge

Just a quick post to show you the card I made for the Muse Challenge #82 which closes soon. The dotted swirls and colors on Bobby's gorgeous card really spoke to me. Look at it







Mine didn't quite come out as I envisioned it...

Stamps: Inkadinkado (Swirls), Stampin' Up (flower circle), Lockhart Stamp Co. (dotted dream)


I made a watercolor background with my watercolor pencils (IRL it doesn't look as streaky but more like a watercolor wash - don't know why my camera has changed it like that) and will therefore also send it to AAA Cards, a new challenge for me. I added some splatters and a yellow gem in the flower center.






Also entering the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge "Anything Goes".

Another inspired, clever take on an inspiration card You've captured the swirls and twirls, the sense of movement, the colours, the circle focal point wonderfully. The wee 'dream' sentiment is sweet!! That quote...yes, a good reminder. My wish list is edging on extravagance!!

Love what you made here Susanne. Your watercolour background looks great to me. If you DO get some Brusho paints, I just can't wait to see what you make with them! xxx

It may not have turned out as you envisioned but I think it turned out fantastic! I love the look of the background and great swirls! I have that dotted flourish set. It's great. :-)
