Water Color Painted Paper

I use water color paper to paint on and just start with the color I like most and add to it...using water to thin it out and make it lighter...blending the colors together.....

This is very therapeutic 

My inspiration for this was the movie "Miss Potter" about Beatrix Potter....and while the credits are rolling in the beginning she is painting different shades of the same color.  I loved the way it looked and it gave me the idea to paint whole sheets and once they were dry I could use them for whatever I needed them for.

I also love tearing paper....I really like the way it looks..

So I cut a piece to fit, tore the top...

Then I just stamped the thank you on ...and put a thin line of glue following the line of the painting and sprinkled on some of the same color glitter....I really enjoy a little bit of "sparkle"  :-)
