CAS Waterclour February Challenge & Exciting News

I'm playing along with the CAS Watercolour February Challenge today. The theme is Hearts. Isn't it perfect for this month?
I used one of my favorite heart stamps. It's a retired stamp but I love the scribble style.





I stamped the hearts with pigment ink and heat-emblossed with clear powder.
Roughly watercolored the background, stamped the sentiment. Then I raised the die-cut panel on the card base.




I hope you can see the shimmer of the watercolor paint from this angle. The paint color says "silver" but it's more like white shimmer.


Thanks for choosing the perfect theme for the challenge, Bonnie!
