Playing along with ColourQ's latest challenge.

Isn't this the sweetest?

Needed a baby card for a friend, expecting her 1st! 

So happy for her, just found out it is a boy,

so my crib mobile is on the 'blue' side.

colourQ challenge #337...

Hello There

Found a new challenge blog, (new to me) through a friend (Darnell),

where another friend (Joyce) is CASE designer with this gorgeous card.

The challenge is called Happy Little Stampers and they're celebrating

a one year anniversary selling their own stamps.

Although I don't own any HLS yet, it's OK to use other stamps for 

this challenge.

Joyce's beautiful card uses the cutout method, where the center is popped up,

and colored, focusing on the cutout!

Love this technique.

Used Lil' Inkers Stitched Ovals to double cut my window,

which is colored with Zig Clean Color Watercolors.

PTI: What the Doodle Feather Stamp Set

Did a card before this one,

and didn't like the outcome.

Ooops, messed up the stamping!

Stuff happens! 

Oh well...

12 Kits of Occasions: February Watercolor Wonders

Well Hello there, and welcome to February 12 Kits of Occasions!

It's my month and I chose a watercolor theme.

Lindsey put together this gorgeous collage of the kit!

Watercolor Wonders!

I'm seeing watercolors everywhere in the card world, from a spash of color

on a die cut, to working a background, we're all loving the 

dreamy free form splashes of color. 

Can't wait to see what the talented designers of 12 Kits do this month, 

and there's a guest designer too, 

Marcia Hill from Marcia's Stampin' Pad.

I think I got carried away with the joys of card making with my own kit! (LOL!)

Not even going to tell you how many cards I made, just scroll on down and hopefully enjoy!

This effect came about with rock salt.

Have you used it with wet color? It soaks up the paint, and leaves this 

crazy texture!

Haven't been able to put Bold Blossoms away ever since my PTI order came!

Last month!

Hard to see, but this one's been sprayed with Imagine Fireworks.

I sent everyone the designer paper peeking out on the left, & added the fuchsia watercolor on the paper's butterflies with my Zig pens.

Anyone recognize this older rubber stamp from Stampington?

Loved painting these gorgeous magnolia blossoms  from Altenew!

If I had to pick a favorite, it's the way this bg within the frame turned out.

Sometimes the sweetest accidents just happen with watercolors!

This fun tag was included in the kit, along with the congrats tag.

I'm closing with this card using a Waltzingmouse stamp set.

I just heard Claire is closing down her company.

We have all loved her charming stamps and dies, and

hate to see her go. To read more, visit ...WMS is closing and send some love!

Well that's it!

You're in for a treat with the rest of the designers.

Don't miss a single one!

You'll find a full list of supplies on the 12 Kits of Occasions Website.
