I love watercolors for backgrounds but I always struggle to use it for coloring images. But for this card I challenged myself to do just that. And I have to say I am quite happy how it turned out. I used Peerless watercolors. The colors are bright and I find them easy to use. I also used them to add a little bit of color behind the lemons.
For the background I stamped the lemons randomly and embossed them with clear embossing powder on a light yellow cardstock.
I chose an aqua cardbase and assembled the card. For a little bit of contrast I added black sequins and black and white twine as finishing touches.
Thanks for stopping by and have a sunny week.
