I started by doing the water coloring technique using Happiness In Bloom, on watercolor paper. Once it was dry it was time to doodle! To be honest, my heart was pounding before I made that first doodle with my ink pen. I kept pressing forward with it and discovered that the more I doodled, the freer and easier it became for me.
In the end, I'm happy with the results. I even think I'd like to try it again! The "Mother" sentiment is an oldie from a QVC set my mother had bought and never used. I even made a little doodle under the sentiment. That was hard work. ;0)
If you've made a card for PTI's MIM challenge, please leave me a comment so I can be sure to stop by and see yours.

Wow! Gorgeous!
This is so fantastic! Love your doodling--So many creative bits around the images and even along the edges. I plan on doing this challenge some point this week. I can see how you were nervous, but it came out so great.
This is really striking. Love the bright colours and the doodling is great!
Wonderful job with your doodling!! I have yet to take the plunge, but your card inspires me!
Hi Birgit! This card is lovely. I wanted to let you know that this month's theme over at V's Sweet Ideas is water color, and this card would be so perfect for the challenge, and I hope you will link it up with us. Have a blessed week!

This turned out so, so pretty! I'm going to have to try this technique!
Oh Birgit! You made it look so easy! Your doodling is beautifully natural! Love the squiggle under 'mother'. Just perfect!
Nice colors and good doodles. I hope your mother likes it!
Great job on the doodling. I was quite nervous too to start the doodling. Very pretty.
This is such a sweet Mother's Day card. I love it and hope your mother does too! Your feelings were the same as mine when I made my first card. Thanks for joining me with this week's Make It Monday.
Oh Birgit...this is SO pretty! I love your water colored flowers with the doodling...you look like a real pro!! Your mother is going to love this and it will definitely bring a smile to her face...just like mine! :0)
This is so pretty Birgit! You did a fabulous job with the doodling and I love your colours.
Beautifully water colored flowers! And the doodling is great, too. Such a pretty card.
BEAUTIFUL card, Birgit! I love the doodling touches and bright cheerful blooms you created!
I think you did a fabulous job on the doodling! Beautiful!
What a sweet and beautiful card with your watercoloring and doodling, BIrgit! It was quite nerve-racking taking pen to paper, wasn't it?
