showers of happy

Needed a break last night from design work, and I have been wanting to pull out something House Mouse and watercolor. Soooo.........here's what I came up with last night. I had to wait to finish it this morning...I can only have one of my American toys plugged in at a time, so since I was working late - if I unplugged the Ott light to plug in the heat gun to mess with the ribbon...I wouldn't be able to see what I was doing!

The scene is colored with Derwent watercolor pencils, except for the pink background - I used watercolor crayons for that. That's actually the "red" in the Lyra set I have...makes me want to go buy the Caran D'Ache set of 84 that I saw at the bookstore here...except that it costs 1,200,000.00 Rp! (that's like $120+...and I see that it's $110 at dickblick.com, plus shipping...but do I need another coloring medium at that price? sigh...)

Stamps are House Mouse by Stampa Rosa (I'm sort of picky - I like the originals - and I'm always on the lookout on ebay...) and smARTworks (saying). There's Sakura Stardust glitter pen on the confetti, and the paper is Basic Grey "Perhaps" (thank you Julee!!).
