This card took me several tries before I found just the right color combination for the cottage scene. I think it was actually the first card I did after getting a set of Nicholson's Peerless transparent watercolors. I had used them during a stamp class and they are just so cool. Instead of a tube of paint, or a dry dish of paint, they are completely dry pieces of pigmented paper that only activate with a brush and water! They've been made since 1885. I liked how easy and mess free they were to use. Other than that, the scene really is the whole card, just a layer, card base, little border stamp and some twine. The inside says "Happy St. Patrick's Day".
