And

The ampersand is one of my favorite symbols. I think this one would look nice as a card. It's watercolor on watercolor paper and I think it will translate nicely onto a color copy.

When I started with the background, I fully wet the paper and waited for it to dry only a bit. Next, I experimented with a rubber stamp for the suggestion of an image. I had read where this could happen and I feel successful today. The image appeared like magic and got better when the remaining wash was pushed around a bit. Finally, I filled in the color mix and worked deeper into the ampersand.

Voila!

Have a great week!
