One more card made with my new favorite stamp set: Wetlands. This card was the one used to showcase the August Technique of the Month, which was Water Color Wash.
The technique is perfect for this card - don't you think it looks like the birds are walking along the shoreline?

The technique is so simple (for best results use Water Color Paper)
- Just stamp the image in permanent ink like Staz-ON
- Then swish a paintbrush across the image in your desired colors.

And
speaking of colors, did you notice the pearls? The small pearls on this card are Stampin'UP!'s
Basic Pearls, which are self-stick, but come only in white. However,
you can color them with a Sharpie. Amazing how well the Sharpie
turquoise marker matches Stampin'UP!'s Coastal Cabana.
