I find watercoloring very relaxing. Something about it just shuts off the thinking part of my brain for a while. I should probably do it a lot more. For this card, I gold embossed the various leaf stamps and then used watercolors to fill them in. Straightforward, but very visually effective I think. Watercolors tend to make any type of paper ripple. So, after it dried, I stuck the just the watercolored layer under a few heavy paper storage boxes to flatten it back out. The inside says "Happy Thanksgiving"

Ink: VersaMark and VersaFine vintage sepia
