Sparkle and Shine Challenge #15

Hello there!  It's time for another Sparkle and Shine Challenge!  This inspiration for this challenge is a fun one that could take you in many directions... watercolor, rainbow, circles, etc!

We are sponsored this week by Pretty Pink Posh!

I am participating in the Online Card Classes Watercolor for Card Makers: Exploring Mediums class, and one of the lessons is on watercoloring shapes.  I got quite excited, because I knew this challenge was coming, so I kept that in mind when I did my class homework for the day.  I started off by stamping circles from the Papertrey Ink Polka Dot Basics stamp set in Fine Linen distress ink.  Then I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to watercolor in the circles, careful to keep one side of the circle darker to make them look more rounded.  Then I stamped a sentiment from the Paper Smooches Spreading Sunshine stamp set in the bottom right corner.  I used the Easel die, also from Paper Smooches, to create a frame for my sentiment.  The paint brush is from the Paper Smooches I Heart Art stamp set, and though it's a bit hard to see in the photo, I added a stamped shadow under the easel with the Paper Smooches Shadows stamp set.  I mounted it on a black card base, and then added a scattering of Pretty Pink Posh iridescent sequins in several colors.
