Thanks Watercolor Card

Yesterday I shared a card I made using watercolor.  It was my first time playing with that technique.  I decided to take my "practice" piece and turn it into a card even though I thought it was pretty basic looking.  Although I didn't originally plan to use it, I think there's something magic in our first efforts at something.  They usually are never the best we ever do (unless it's our last attempt), but firsts are special.  So I thought I would turn it into a card for someone special.  I'm sure she'll appreciate what it's like to make a first attempt.  I added just a touch of glitter with the Zig brush I talked about yesterday and some Hemptique twine.  Once it was all put together, I realized I actually liked it.

What...I thought I left a comment for this great card. I LOVE this technique...it's "classic"...a perfect generic card.
