Playing Piano card...

I was not a pianist when I was growing up, but I did love growing up with a piano in the house.  This little girl must be giving a recital as she is all dressed up nicely!

(Click on image to enlarge.)

I stamped onto watercolor cardstock and then colored with watercolor pencils and blended with water.   I hadn't used those pencils in a while and I forgot how much I enjoy using them!


The little sentiment is taken from the same paper pack as the patterned paper and tag.  I used a sketch to pull all this together!  I added a center to the little prima flowers with Liquid Pearls.


Supplies: Deep Red stamps Piano Solo, Archival Jet Black ink, Canson watercolor paper, Simple Stories Summer Fresh 6x6 paper pad, flowers and cardstock from my stash, Liquid Pearls bisque.


I would love to participate in the following challenges:

Great take on the sketch. Your watercolouring is beautiful. I never think to use my watercolour pencil crayons. Thanks for the reminder and inspiration.

Oh, Heidi, what a sweet image, and your coloring is beautiful! And I love how you've used the Mojo Monday sketch! A dear friend of ours is a piano teacher, and this reminds me of her students when she teaches at her home. Hugs, sweet friend!
