I LOVE YOU

Hello, peeps!  I have a card to share today that I'm entering in 2 challenges, the Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge #36 (one layer card), and CAS(E) this Sketch.







I was inspired by a card made by the talented Deepti of Dee's Art Utopia, you can see it HERE.  Deepti's brushstrokes are much more artfully done than mine, but this was my first attempt and I took the easy route, making a rainbow :)  I used my Gansai Tambi watercolors here and a wide flat brush to add the color.  I left an open space to add a sentiment which is from Simon Says Stamps Roses For You stamp set.  I added a few white embossed hearts to the card because I felt it needed a little something extra.  I also added some clear Wink of Stella to the inside of the sentiment although you can't really see that in this photo.  I like the fun, playful feel of this and I want to experiment a lot more with making brushstrokes.  I own several brushstroke stamp sets but there's something very rewarding about making your own!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
