Poppystamps Challenge: Splish Splash

It's a new month and that means a new Poppystamps Challenge!  This month the theme is Splish Splash!  What does that mean exactly?  Think watercolors inspired by April showers!


For this card, I started by watercoloring an ombre background with a brush and regular watercolors.  Then I went back over it with some water color powders.  After it was completely dry, I die cut it with the large Spinning Circles die.  Then I inlaid the die cut pieces back in the background but changed the position of the pieces to create some movement.  Here's a closer look at it...


The last step was to add some clear sequins and a metallic silver die cut sentiment.  So are you still loving watercolors as much as I am? I hope you are and I hope you join in the challenge!  
Have a great weekend!
