Watercolor Fathers Day Card

Hello I am happy to show you a lovely card I made tonight. I've been practicing my watercolor skills I learned in my online class at Craftsy. It does take practice and my lovely husband gave me a few tips. So I made this card for Dad for Fathers Day. I mixed up some blue paints in my palette, one was a bit more concentrated than the other so I brushed over a piece of watercolor paper with the shades of blue. I used a cloud die cut to create a mask so when I painted across the piece of paper it left the cloud part white because it had the mask cloud over it. I cut two hot air balloons on the Cricut and stamped my greeting. I am loving trying out watercoloring, it's fun mixing up the paints in the palette and seeing what you can come up with. Thanks for looking.
