Happy 2017 everyone!
Looking forward to a year full of creating.
And seeing what you create too!
Completely thrilled to be joining the team at Happy Little Stampers
as they launch a new Watercolor Challenge.
Because Barb used stenciling, just had to add the technique
to my card. But it's optional, you don't have to add it.
Butterfly stamp from HLS' new set, Especially For You.
Made a stencil from the butterfly (5 of them!) and dabbed on
my colors. Lastly, a spray from Lindy's Stamp Gang;
Starburst: Furry Navel Peach.
(the coppery color with a shimmer)
Next stamped 3 butterflies with Ranger Archival Ink and
used my Zigs to color just one piece of their wings in aqua and navy.
Added my watercolor piece to a bg black & white plaid from PTI.
The sentiment was added, and finally a few sequins to finish.
There are several wonderful videos on HLS to help you create
the perfect watercolor.
Hope you play along with HLS' newest challenge.
Looking forward to seeing your entry.
OH! And there's a $15. gift certificate to our winner. (Yay!)
Join in the fun here:
