I'm so happy the watercolor trend is still around because I've been in the mood to watercolor again. It's been a while since I've done this technique.
I used two colors of Stampin' Up reinkers for this, placing the colors on a piece of acetate, spritzing it with water and flipping it over onto a piece of white cardstock. I rubbed the ink so it was spread over the cardstock to my liking.
The post is die-cut in black cardstock. I die-cut the signs and stamped them with coordinating colors, using Hawaiian Shores ink on the arrow to add something other than a pink or orange color. The post is on foam tape for dimension.
I stamped the sentiment in black ink and mounted the panel on a black cardstock card base. I don't normally use black for a card base, but this looked good together and helped bring out the black on the panel.

Your watercolor is very pretty and that pop of Hawaiian Shores is perfect. Great card!
