My goal for this month was to complete a card for all of the challenges at Heart 2 Heart Challenges. This is my final project, mission completed! This one was certainly a challenge for me! The last challenge I needed to complete was the color challenge. I searched through papers, thought of making my own....then I came across the Feels Like Home Watercolor Die Cuts! It was a lightbulb moment.....I gathered my inks and proceeded to color in the die cut with my ink pads and a waterbrush. Here are the colors that are included-
After coloring my flowers, they seemed a little lonely on my card front. I added some ink splatters in Smoothie ink by adding more water to my ink. I then added some thicker splotches with a stamp from the Birthday in Watercolor Stamp set. I finished the card off with some Canary twine and a few bits of bling. I am about to start a marathon stamping session of Mother's Day cards, so this is the first of many...
