Black eyed susan

Today I needed a nice relaxing stress reliever. Well trying to anyway!

Seeing so much ugliness in the world makes me so sad and I needed something beautiful.

So I pulled out the watercolors which I have very little practice with.

Just a little something different to keep the creative juices flowing!

For this card I have used the image

Black Eyed Susan

Prima Watercolors in Shimmering lights

and

Kuretake watercolors

I found that the two sets really played well together.

But the shimmer in the Prima set is amazing!!! I wish I could photograph it better!

The paper comes from a Paper Studios matt stack called Our Family Tree

Then I have finished off with a bit of machine sewing.
