I’m happy to be here today for AAA Cards Game #84 – Watercolor.
Our inspirations photo:
Thank you to our sponsor: Uniko
Prize – the winners choice of an in-stock stamp set
Here’s my card: 
I used a stamp set from Uniko, Background Builders: Squared. 
I used the emboss-resist technique.
I did some heat embossing (one of my favorite techniques, using one of favorite tools) and then watercolored in some different blue, greens and purples. 
I did some additional masking and added an ombré line of color along either side of the squares.
I stamped the sentiment and then attached the panel to a blue card base.
I hope that you have been inspired to play along with us this game. Make sure you stop by AAA Cards and visit all of the design team members blogs.

I like how you made your pretty border, Melissa. That verse is one of my favourite verses, and lovely how you stamped it in the different colour tones.

Love this card, and love the colors! Quick (unrelated) question: You made a card last year that had the sentiment: “His Eye is On the Sparrow”. Can you tell me where I can find the stamp with that sentiment? I would love to have it! (I have a friend who is a singer, and “His Eye is on the Sparrow” is one of the songs she sings so beautifully. I’d love to send her a card with that sentiment!) Thanks so much !!!

I love your colour combo here Melissa, super fun and cheery and showcasing those Uniko squares to the max here. It’s surprising that even those teeny little images can take some fun watercolour too. x
