StampARTic's 1th of May Sketch Challenge

Just in time...but still a few hours left until midnight ;)
This is a card I made for the StampARTic's 1th of May Challenge - a sketch by "the one and only" Pia Bau :o)

I've seen so many beautiful cards in blue/green colours lately, and since the blue colour makes me dream about the blue summer sky, and the green about the fresh green gras, I just had to try this colour combo ;o)

I've always used a waterbrush when I colour my images, but this time I've tried to use a regular brush, dipped in water ;o) It's a bit more challenging, I think, so I'll have to practice some more :o)
