Fusion - Woodgrain Neutral

I loved the wreath in the photo inspiration at Fusion and  fused it with the sketch to make this card.
PTI's Vintage Flowers were stamped and die cut on two colors of polka dot paper.  Enamel Accents were added to the centers and different edges were popped up to give some dimension.  The background is Soft Stone embossed with a woodgrain folder and the sentiment is from PB.
I finished my quilt top and have my DT cards done so I've had all day to play. I even signed up for the Online Card Class - Watercoloring for Intermediates - three days late so I have some catching up to do.  Since this was spur of the moment, I never had a chance to check the supply list beforehand but I do have quite a few paintbrushes that I got for my acrylic class.  I also had a small set of tube paints but the colors leave a lot to be desired.  I bought them for a watercolor class I took probably 10 years ago. I'm hoping I can find more locally so I can do a little more practice before I show you a card..  I have been doing a little watercoloring on my cards with Distress Inks but the results were more by luck than technique. Stay tuned for more.
