Splashes of Watercolor

Believe in the Magic - Color Throwdown #519

~

Happy Hump Day!!  It’s time for the latest Color Throwdown challenge!  Vickie is our hostess this week and she’s chosen one of my favorite Christmas color combos for us to play with: Red, Aqua, and Silver.

~

~

So of course I made a Christmas card using the awesome Polar Bears stamp set from Rubbernecker Stamps.

~

~

I also used the Magic of the Season sentiment and Watercolor Forest stamps for my winter scene.

This could easily be a one-layer card.  I stamped the bears, then the sentiment, on water color paper.  I water colored the sky using Distress inks.  Then, when that was dry, I masked the bears and stamped the Watercolor Forest for my background.  I shaded the bears and colored the scarf with my Copic markers. I also added some stars in the sky using a silver gel pen and some Star Dust Stickles.

We hope you will play along with us this week!  You can find all the challenge details at the CTD blog.

Party Dog! - Color Throwdown #518

~

Happy Wednesday!  Are you ready for the latest Color Throwdown challenge?  This week our hostess Lynn has a beautiful Autumn color combo for us to play with: Slate Blue, Orange, Brown, and White.

~

~

What a great combo!

I chose to make an Autumn inspired birthday card using the adorable Party Dog stamp set from Rubbernecker, along with the Fall Leaves Stack Die Cut set.

~

~

I water colored the background, and I colored the cute little dog with my Copic markers.  I die cut the leaves and water colored them, then I used a brown pen to draw the veins.  The dog and the leaves are popped up on foam mounting tape.  The sentiment is from the Happy Birthday stamp set.

I hope you’ll find some time to play along in the CTD challenge this week.  For more inspiration using our colors, please visit the design team members’ blogs:

Ultimate Poinsettia - Power Poppy Digis on the 5s

~

~

Hello, everyone!  It’s my pleasure to present to you the latest digi image from Power Poppy!   It’s a beautiful floral spray featuring a fabulous poinsettia.

~

~

This is what Marcy has to say about it:

One of our most popular holiday clear stamps is now available as a resizable digital download. Straight from the set "Winter Wonderland" without any alterations, we have the gorgeous floral spray that will bring a splash of decadence to your holiday cards! A Poinsettia is surrounded by frilly Anemones, Dusty Miller leaves, and Pepperberries. Of course we want you to color these plants in any way that brings you delight. But if you’re a purest, there are the inspirations behind my drawing! A new sentiment that you can color in joins the floral display.

I chose to use classic colors for each of the floral elements, and ended up with a big burst of wonderful holiday colors!  I love this combination!  And I kept the card simple to highlight this wonderful bouquet!

Birthdays Are the Best - Color Throwdown #517

~

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

Are you ready for the latest Color Throwdown challenge?  This week our hostess Lori has a great versatile combo for us! Red, Kraft, Aqua, and Orange.

~

I needed a birthday card for a very special young man, so I pulled out my Taylored Expressions Balloon Buddies stamp set with matching dies.  Everything was colored with my Copic markers and the background was sponged in Tumbled Glass using the Tim Holtz mini stencil set 21.

We really hope you will play along with us!
