I made this card a few days ago and when it was first made those colours looked so vibrant. It's had a few days to settle and I'm surprised how soft and muted they have gone - maybe I needed more ink in my water colouring to keep the bright colours showing? Or it could be the paper I used as I don't have any water colour paper at the moment.
I've used Colourful Seasons for my card and am pleased this one didn't retire this year as I don't have very many current sets left. I started the card using my aqua painter using the colours above. I then stamped over them with a Tim Holtz dots stencil and alternated the colours. I used the small dot stamp from Timeless Textures to carry the dots on and off the paper.
I used Bermuda Bay as the base card stock and also cut out the chair from the matching thinlets. However I embossed the chair first running it through the Big Shot so that the chair had some texture. The sentiment is from another retired set from SU Cottage Greetings. I added a few sequins just to finish off the card.

I like the muted colors for the background as well as the stencil and dot splatters. They get all the colors in without being overwhelming! That chair will always be a favorite of mine too! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
So fun, Fiona - I love the layering of inks - stamping off is one of my fave tricks, lol. Looks wonderful! Such a cute chair, lol. Thanks so much for playing at Fab Friday!
