STAMplorations 2nd Birthday Blog Hop Day 1!

For my DT card for Day 1 I've used a sentiment stamp from the brand new Party Time stamp set and combined it with a flower from Blooming Buds stamp set. I water colored the flower with DI:s -not my usual style but I wanted to have a go of something different for a change. It's not too bad... But I'm back with my Copics again tomorrow...  And I do think that feels more like myself. :) At least I would need a lot of practicing with my water coloring... And I don't have the patience to always wait for the layers to dry... So everything ends up pretty blended and there's no contrasts. Oh well. ;)

Check out what the rest of the team made! You'll find links to all birthday blog hop projects here.
