oh and one more thing.............

i thought i would share some of the watercolor background techniques

they are so very easy to do

take a sheet of water color paper-

mix each color seperately i use a yogurt cup

use a dropper to transfer some of the color to a mini mister

add some perfect pearls then more watercolor and shake away

leave a little air in the mister to get a good mix

mist as heavy as you want

i started with a lighter color

and then when dry i used rubber cement as a mask

when that is dry i then misted a darker color over the whole sheet

let that dry

and then use your finger tip to rub off the rubber cement mask and this is what you have

it maynot look like much but once you cut the sheet into the size you want the uses are endless

the perfect pearls leave a nice shimmer-i like to use these as the base when using images printed on tracing paper

ok NOW i really am going out in the garden :)
