I rotated the sketch and moved the panel up slightly (hope that's okay!). I started with some watercolor paper and I sponged on some Squeezed Lemonade ink, keeping it darker on the right hand side. I also added some Scattered Straw to the right hand side. Before I die-cut it, I splattered on some Scattered Straw ink, using some liquid Perfect Pearls to dilute the ink slightly.
I adhered a black strip to the top and also behind the word to make it pop and then popped the whole lot up on foam tape. Finally I adhered a stamped flower that I had left over from another project, also using foam tape. The flower was painted with clear Wink of Stella.
Thanks for visiting.
