One of my crafty resolutions was to try some new techniques, so I thought it was about time I had a go at the watercolour background that's doing the rounds. I read a great tip somewhere to tape your card down first with masking tape before watercolouring and then it doesn't distort so much.
Unfortunately my card didn't photograph well, my BG looks a bit darker in real life and I LOVE how it turned out :)
My image is an ooooooold Penny Black stamps, it may well have been one of the first PB stamps I bought and I haven't used it in such a long time. Coloured with watercolour pencils and pink stickles added to the dots.

This is SO pretty, Lynne!! Wish I could see it in person. I know the frustration when your cards don't look as good in the photo as they do IRL.
Beautiful card Lynne. I'm afraid I usually chalk instead of watercolouring LOL.
Congratulations on your win, may not be much but it's enough to buy a die set :o)

Your card looks great. A lovely image. The tulips are a nice reminder that spring isn't too far away. Thanks for joinig AYLI challenge. Happy New Year. Elaine
Well I think you've nailed that technique (or should that be TAPED it???).
Lovely looking card.
