watercolour challenge


Hi crafty friends!  Today's challenge over at Papertrey's anniversary celebration is to create a project that uses some type of watercolour technique or look.  Watercolour is one of the growing trends currently. And Papertrey is coming out with a gorgeous set called Watercolor Wonder.  Can't wait to get my inky fingers on it!

Here is my card...




I used Papertrey's Wildflowers set, cardstock (new leaf, harvest gold, stampers white) and ink (berry sorbet and simply chartreuse).  I also diluted some pure poppy refill ink with water and swirl it around the floral image using a watercolour brush.

I also used one of Heather's favourite cards as my inspiration for this.  Here is her card.


Thanks for stopping by!

    Lovely card, Irma! You're making me regret selling my Wildflower Garden set-- it works so well for the watercolour technique!
