Something tropical with watercolours

A couple of weeks ago on rosiedie challenge blog, Rosie set the challenge to use watercolours of some description - I intended to do this, but time went by ... This week challenge 21 on Cuttlebug is to use watercolours, combined, of course, with using a cuttlebug product.

Challenge 38 on Dutch Dare this week is 'something tropical'.

So I've combined these challenges for this card.

The panel that has been cuttlebug embo0ssed was a piece of white linen card on which I scribbled bands of colours of Inktense pencils and then waterbrushed over to blend. The paper that covers to the right and the bottom is a piece of K & Co Mira - the yellow is flocked, so this is a 'touchy feely' card.

I used bright colours and added the strawberry charm so it fits the 'something tropical' challenge.

    The trouble is that they have been sidelined recently by my copics.
