Watercolor Crayons Again!

MFTWSC170
My friend Alexandra had a great tutorial on Sunday using a product like watercolor crayons, as near as I could tell. Since mine are still on the table (after being buried for years!) thought I'd use one of her techniques as a background for the pretty flowers from MFT Peaceful Wildflowers. I used the
current Dynamic Duos colors & the MFT Wednesday sketch, turned on it's side.  The sentiment is from Inkadinkado. I added Stickles to the blossoms for some pretty sparkle. 
Today Fritz had a play day.  My good friend brought her sweet big boy over to meet Fritz.  Oh what a happy puppy to have a doggy to play with! You could almost see him smiling & he should really sleep tonight!

    What a neat background! I love the colours & the embossing :)
    And as for puppy play - my two are playing right now, and being total goofballs. It's easy to see the progress in the new pup now that I'm home to keep her on track!

    Your card is just so beautiful, Greta!! I love the colors yo chose for the BG for your flowers, how you stamped and then added stickles to the blossoms too! and your tags too! I honestly don't know how you do all the challenges so well!! Tnx for sharing about Fritz I can almost see his tail going with enthusiasm too! Hope you will join us for the blog hop on Monday. We are hoping to inspire people to send cards to a little 2 year old and her family. She is receiving chemo for Leukemia and being such a trooper too! Details at top of my blog! Hugs,
