Watercolor Modern Cross

Watercolor Modern Cross
I have been having quite a bit of fun with this impression plate from Papertrey Ink.  It's not new by any means but for some reason it was calling out to me to try some new techniques.  I love watercoloring and made several cards using different color of cs and inks.  I like this one the best.

4 Bar size cards are new to me and I am having great success in creating cards in this smaller format.  I was inspired to use this size by Debby Hughes (Lime Doodle Design). The bottom layer is a gray cs.  The modern cross was die cut in white.  I popped out all the crosses and played around with which ones to replace, which ones to leave open and to watercolor the rest.  I used Distressed Inks in 4 different colors.  The hello die is in a blue gray cs and of course I used by Pretty Pink Posh sequins.

I am excited to enter this in a new challenge blog to me Happy Little Stamper
This month's challenge is watercolour.
