I chose to make a resist background with shades of aqua that I added some yellow to along the bottom and a classic favorite of mine, Background Basics: Tin Types.
Stamped some more Bitty Bouquets since I had used them earlier, but this time I inked them with Tim Holtz Distress Ink markers to get a softer sketchy colored look to match the background. So much fun!
Kelly, pretty emboss resist watercolor background - love all the splotches and splatters. Nice selection of colors for your bitty bouquets and lovely design. Thanks for your tip re watercolor paints - I'm still deciding what to do and will probably continue using the cheap set for a while. I'd love to get really good at watercoloring some day!
