Okay, so I am a teeny tiny bit obsessed with watercolors and Heartfelt Creations stamps are so perfect. This time 

I stamped the image using Lullaby Darlings PreCut Set on Canson Natural White Cold Pressed Watercolor Paper 300 gsm* with Old Paper Distress Ink. I masked the image first using Daler & Rowney Masking fluid and used the wet on wet watercolor technique to build the background. I am using Camel Student Water Color Tube* and Sakura Koi Water Brush*. Once the background was dry, I peeled off the masking fluid and painted the image. I also added some tree branches free hand to add more interest in the background. Next I stamped the sentiment using Chick Retreat Cling Stamp Set using Archival black ink and mounted the panel on a blue Note card base using foam adhesive*. I also added a decorative die cut from the Cut Mat Create 2A Die.

I love how it turned out and I hope you like it too.
