May Flowers

 Just Us Girls has a Flowers challenge for their Word Week.  

The image and sentiment are from SCT Delivered and were part of Crop & Create.  The "you" was dies cut 4x and stacked, the stamped images were heat embossed in black, and the flowers colored in Crayola watercolors.  I don't color or paint much, but I am quite happy with how this turned out.  Sharing this with:

Brighter Days

The team over at Color Throwdown challenge is:

Here is my response:

I used plain old Crayola watercolors for the background, Strathmore watercolor paper, Beautiful You images stamped in Staz-On, the dress and umbrella are fussy cut. 

Winner winner!

I am so lucky!  I won the Season's Giving blog hop candy from Winnie & Walter!  It was a VERY generous prize that included stamp sets, dies, masks, and even some sequins!  THANK YOU!!!  I used sentiments from this really versatile set The Big, The Bold and Greetings:

I heat embossed the sentiment in clear, and used my son's old Crayola watercolors in pink and purple.  They didn't blend as well as I would have liked, so I added some oxide ink around the purple, and flicked some water to create the spotty look.  I added some clear sequins that were in my prize pack, and layered it on some matching purple card stock.  I will be using this set a lot!!!

Sharing this with the Shopping Our Stash Getting Sentimental and The Paper Girls Watercolor challenges.  The Words 2 Craft By Magical Beginnings challenge runs through January 24 - come play along with us!!!

Watercolors

At the Simon Says Create event last fall, one of the projects used watercolors and masking.  I don't have any artist watercolors, but I do have an old Crayola Watercolor set from my son's grade school days, lol!!  They are not as intense as real watercolors, but they were fun to play with.  The Can You Cast It challenge #109 is a color challenge:

Here is my card:

I used a Molotow masking liquid masking marker to mask the sentiment, and brushed yellows, greens, and blues. 

Still a few days left to join us at Words 2 Craft By Heart's Devotion challenge ending March 1!!
