Just Playing Around this Week

Not much real art by me this week. I did make this "card". The background
was a computer sheet where I was trying out stamps and inks. I decided to keep
going with colors on it and sprayed lots of different MoonGlow (mica-loaded)
sprays. The flower is made by spraying 3 coffee filters with other mica sprays.
Then I photographed that part and put on the computer. With Photoshop Elements
I added the sentiment and the borders. Below is a real watercolor in one of my 
journals. I am entering these in this week's Paint Party Friday challenge.
