Just Us Girls Challenge #247

It is a technique and it's watercolor!  I think that is my favorite technique to play with.  I used to watch my Dad paint and I was fascinated by it.  Now I can do it myself. 
This card just drips of watercolor.  All CS is Gina K.  I used White, Sand and Ocean Mist. 
I first stamped the white, with versamark, and a Stamp in Up texture stamp.  Then heat embossed with white.  On top of that, I used distressed inks and water.  Then I stamped the hearts and sprayed the stamp with water.  Fussy cut those out and used foam dots to adhere them.  I drew in the strings to turn them into balloons.  Last, I used another Stamp in Up stamp for the sentiment. This will be a birthday card for a friend that does not like flowers.  So she gets balloons and a few sequins!
Thanks so much for your comments.  They are appreciated.
