Sentimental Sundays: Happy Mother's Day or Really Girly!!



Hello everyone!! I have been taking some time off from commission work and TRYING to relax.
Trying being the operative word because it seems like even if I am dying to take a break, I still want to create! Puts a damper on my "break" really :p
Anyhoo, I have been watercoloring - A LOT. 
I made two cards using the same image. 
Our sponsor at Sentimental Sundays this week is All Dressed Up and the theme is 

Happy Mother's Day/ or Really Girly


The card above is a total watercolor card using distress inks, "Party Frock" image by All Dressed Up and sentiment by MFT. The "tree" I painted myself.


The background here is watercolored but the image has been colored using Classic Faber Castell color pencils. Sentiment by SSS.

That's it for today! See you next time :)
BIG hugs!!
Erum
