In honor of one of their sets being released this month, I decided to create watercolor ikat!
It was so much fun!

 Canyon Clay, Terracotta Tile, Orange Zest, and Summer Sunrise.
 
 
See you later!

How cool that you're talented enough to free hand your Ikat pattern! If I were to give that a go I don't know what it would end up looking like (well I probably do but I won't put a cuss word on your blog...lol)! Very pretty card for the challenge!

This is beautiful. Who needs stamps if you can do this on your own?
