I used some of my grade school watercolors (sorta like the ones we used way back when) to do a color wash behind the image and then colored the image with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and water. I'm thinking the colors on the image are a little too intense for the background wash but then again, maybe not. It is what it is though. The image is from Mark's Finest Papers and a tiny butterfly and sequin were added.
I'll also take this card over to the Watercolor Blog Hop that's being sponsored by Pretty Pink Posh.
Thanks for stopping by.............

Lynn, this is so soft and pretty!! I think your background is most definitely of a water color wash...this is what mine was supposed to be and my colors are way darker than yours! :) That image is so fun and good for you on being early for Easter! Happy Sunday!
Gorgeous colouring lynn and such a cute image..always good to be early..

I think it's a cute bunny and I love how all of it is contained within an egg! Cute Easter card Mrs. early bird :)
I think the wash is supposed to be lighter than the image and the image is perfect! How nice to be ahead for Easter next year!
Early works for me too! Great to be prepared! Especially when you have this lovely card done!

Really pretty Easter card. Sweet bunny.
Aren't you clever to get the jump on Easter?! Nope the main image colors are definitely not too intense for the background wash. Just right! Pretty image, beautifully colored, and I think you have the watercolor technique mastered! Can't wait to see how you like these new tools! TFS
This is not you at all but oh so feminine and pretty. I hope you like it by the time Easter comes next year. You have one year to decide. Lol.
I think it's beautiful! The subtle background works well with the stronger colors on the sweet image!
I don't even have my birthday cards for next month finished and here you are making Easter cards! LOL!
Fabulous coloring :)
