Paper Players #91 and Freshly Made Sketches #31

Hey it's Friday - hooray!  It's supposed to be a nice weekend here and there are leaves starting to bud on all my trees - that makes me happy :o)  Today I am entering this card in two fun challenges - The Paper Players Challenge #91 and Freshly Made Sketches #31 - a sketch by Rita.  The challenge this week from Jaydee at the Paper Players is to create a clean and simple card using watercoloring. I used my blender pen and some ink droplets to "paint" my tree image on this card.  I added some watercolored swirls for clouds too.  Then I used the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches  to put my card together.  As you can see I flipped the sketch and used a square instead of a circle for my card. The result was a fairly quick and fun card to make.  Thanks for the opportunity to play!  Hope you enjoyed today's card.  Thanks so much for stopping by to visit - I'm sure glad you did. 
Supplies (all from Stampin Up): Cardstock - Whisper White, Lucky Limeade, Real Red.  Stamp - from Easy Events.  Patterned Paper - Twitterpated (available in the Occassions Mini until April 30th).  Ribbon - 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon in Lucky Limeade.  I made the small heart at the bottom with my small heart punch and tied it on with a piece of the linen thread.  The image is colored with my blender pens and Lucky Limeade, Certainly Celery, Real Red, Pool Party and Crumb Cake inks.
