Watercolor with a Silhouette


I'm really liking playing with watercolors!  The CAS Watercolor challenge for September is to create a silhouette on a watercolored card.  My stamp choices were limited, but this Stampotique image came to mind immediately.  And it's still summer, so the theme works, too.  Again, I used Peerless watercolors, as in my previous post, creating a vibrant background for the summer children.  "Smile" is one of several dies of that word in my stash, but the die was tucked in with another die, so I'm not sure of the manufacturer.

Watercolor is truly my favorite, but I need to play more with backgrounds like this. Gorgeous, rich colors and so perfect for the black silhouette. You inspire me!
