This was a fun one! There were a couple NSD challenges that involved watercolor, so I was looking for a creative way to incorporate watercoloring, and decided to try and extend my photo with watercolors.
I cut a piece of watercolor cardstock, placed the photo in the center, and then using a straight edge to sketch in where lines in the photo would extend to. Then I went in with the watercolors and tried to mimic the colors of the original photo.
Once that was dry, I adhered it to my cardstock base, adding stitching around the edges, and then attaching the photo.
The title was hand drawn/painted with watercolors and fussy cut.
I really enjoyed creating this and will definitely be trying it again!
