My Favorite Things 2021 Card Design Superstar Challenge ~ Coloring Virtuoso

 Hello.  Gaylynn here.  Today's card was made exclusively for the My Favorite Things 2021 Card Design Superstar Challenge in the category of Coloring Virtuoso.  For the coloring, I chose to use watercolor paints, one of my favorite techniques.

Sentiment:

Your friendship is the cherry on top.

For this card, I first prepared the background using watercolor paper.  Using a few different colors and types of watercolor, I added color, one section at a time.  I allowed the colors to blend together.  For the pink shade, I used ink from an MFT cube, picked up the color from a mat, added water and then began to watercolor parts of the background.  Also, I added gold shimmer watercolor to fill in the blank areas.  
For the mice and elements, I heat embossed the stamping onto watercolor paper.  I used the same shades as the background plus a few more shades from my stash.  Once everything was dry, I die-cut the background, the mice and all of the elements.  Finally, I assembled the card pieces along with the sentiment, to finish.

Here is another look.
