Watercolor Birthday

I've been thinking about the challenge at Seize the Birthday for

the last few days. The theme is water. I had some different ideas

but none that I really liked. While I was working on this card a 

lightbulb went off in my head. I realized I was using 

watercolor pencil crayons! 

I just recently purchased the watercolor pencil crayons and I know

I have a lot to learn on how to use them but one thing's for sure -

 they are a lot of fun to work with!

I've got a pile of scrap dsp pieces on my desk that I'm trying to

work my way through. I found a few coordinating pieces and 

put them together for the background. After fussy cutting the

girl out, I popped it up on some fun foam.

 

If you have some time today you should check out the challenge.

While you're at it, check out the ABC Challenge - this week
