Wow, I have definitely been inspired to do this technique. You make it look so easy. And, it packs a punch. I am loving this whole watercolor trend.
I liked the number dies going off the edge, looked very cool, and replacing the centers, sure finished it off nicely.
Great look, it seems like fun. I am all about fun, that’s for sure. LOL
TFS, splendid splatting! LOL
