You Are My Sunshine…..

I have always loved that little song…..I remember singing it to each of my children - not as a "holier than thou" song, but just humming it now and then. A natural ditty.

Which is why - when I saw this particular water-colour doodle from Simon Says Stamp I had to buy the whole bunch! (For some reason I can't see any photos on the Simon Says Stamp website, so I am just linking to the page)

I thought I would watercolour it for this week's Color Throwdown…..the perfect colours for spring and water colouring both….heh heh.



I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers to water-colour the image and did a light wash in the background.

I trimmed it down so I would be able to pop it up onto my patterned paper and card base.

I added a little scallop at the bottom - just for fun!
