Hi and welcome. I finally got some time to stamp just for me on the weekend, but it took me a couple of days to find the time to blog! Can't wait until things go back to normal and we're back in our house and I have all my schtuff around :)
I've got two cards to post today and this is my first. I made this card using the beautiful blue colour challenge at Colour Me and the fun challenge at CAS-ual Fridays.
I white-embossed the word "celebrate" from the Shenanigans set onto watercolour paper then liberally spritzed the paper with water. I dropped a single drop of ink in each of the challenge colours onto my craft mat and spritzed with water. I then picked up one colour at a time with my paintbrush and painted the watercolour paper. I started with Coastal Cabana at the top, then Tempting Turquoise, then Pacific Point and finally Bermuda Bay at the bottom.
After heat-setting, I trimmed to size and mounted onto a white card base. Three blue sequins finished off the card.
Thanks for looking.
