A little more watercolor today.

Recently I watched this Video By Yana.
She created the most beautiful backgrounds!
I couldn't wait to try it with my Color Shine spray.
I used a FC Big Brush Pen to fill in the letters of
 my sentiment with some coordinating color.


I can't wait to try this technique again!
Thanks for stopping by.

    This is just gorgeous. Michaels has all their Heidi Swapp for 40% off this week, and I bought a bunch of those sprays (amongst other things...) I will need to watch that video and try the technique now.

    I tried the technique and I was able to replicate your inspirational video's results, but yours looks less splotchy and more flowy. Did you lay your colors down all at the same time? They are stunning!!!
