Moon Lake Watercolor Card

"The question is not what you look at, but what you see." ~Thoreau

Hello! I hope you're having a lovely day. Mine has been nice and quiet, just the way I like it. The hubby and I did a few errands this afternoon and when we came home he wanted to watch something on the television, so I played in my craft room.

This Moon Lake Watercolor Card was inspired by the color challenge at Create with Connie and Mary to use: Tip Top Taupe, Lost Lagoon and Perfect Plum. It seemed like a good day to do a little watercoloring and I really wanted to make a purple sky, I don't know why. The watercolored panel was adhered to Perfect Plum cardstock. I decided to use striped patterned paper from the Cherry on Top paper stack to play along at A Gem of A Challenge (Spots and/or Stripes). To add some texture and interest I used Tip Top Taupe lace along with some Lost Lagoon thick twine. That's it!

Thanks for stopping by!

    Really like the sentiment with the soothing picture and design. The duck looks very peaceful on his water and the papers and trims you selected are great.
