Splashes of Watercolor

Felt Leaves and Fruits Wreath - Color Throwdown #421

~

Happy Wednesday and happy almost December!  Can you believe it?  I don’t want to!

How about let’s celebrate by playing in this  week’s Color Throwdown challenge?  Amy Rysavy is our hostess and here are the fabulous bright and festive colors she’s chosen - Aqua, Purple, Celery Green, and Black.

~

~

I love this combo and I thought they would be perfect to use on one of the brand new Four Wreaths from Power Poppy.  The one I colored today is the Felt Leaves and Fruits Wreath.

~

~

I used my Copic markers for this image and fussy cut the wreath.  I added Star Dust Stickles to the “fuzzies” and the background is a leftover piece of water-colored stripes.

We would love to see what you come up with this week!  Please join us!

All-new Four Wreaths and SALESGIVING at Power Poppy

~

Hello and happy Friday!  Did you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving?  I sure did!  I ate way too much and enjoyed the wonderful warm flip-flop Southern weather!

Today is SALESGIVING day at Power Poppy!  And the release day for Four Wreaths.  You can find all the information at the Power Poppy blog and at the Power Poppy store.

~

~

Today I colored up the Succulent and Baubles Wreath, using Distress inks on watercolor paper. 

 

~

~

I really love the idea of using succulents in a Christmas wreath!  All different shades of green, red and purple!

I’m entering this card into the current Curtain Call challenge – At Home,

Fox Wishing - Color Throwdown #420

~

Hey there!  Happy Wednesday to you!

It’s time once again for another great Color Throwdown challenge!  Wanda has a wonderful combo for us this week!

~

~

Love those soft colors of Autumn!

I wanted to play some more with a large background stamp and inks, so I pulled out my new Simon Says Stamp 6 x 6 cling stamp called Circle Doodle along with several different Distress inks.

Pair that with an adorable little water-colored fox from the Hero Arts Winter Time Fun set and I have a cool birthday card for a dear friend!

~

~

Wish - Color Throwdown #419

~

Y’all know if it’s Wednesday, it’s time for a brand new Color Throwdown challenge!  Vickie is our hostess and she’s chosen a beautiful fresh color palette for us to play with – Orange, Green, and Red.

~

~

These colors really inspired me this week!  I had some new goodies from Simon Says Stamp and I decided I wanted to try something out with the new Abstract Triangles 6 x 6 cling stamp. 

~

~

I heat embossed the triangles using clear embossing powder and then I used Color Bursts to watercolor the triangles to form a loose pattern which mimics this week’s sketch #CTS198 from CASE this Sketch.

~

~

I really do love how these bright colors add life to the triangles!

~

~

Now it’s your turn to create a paper-crafted card or project and share it with us at the CTD blog.  Be sure to check out the awesome inspiration from the rest of the CTD girls!

Just Dropping By - Color Throwdown #418

~

Yay, it’s finally Wednesday and time for the new Color Throwdown challenge!  Lynn is our hostess today and she’s chosen some beautiful earthly tones for us to play with: Copper, Teal, Rust, and Orange.

~

~

How pretty is that?

I couldn’t wait to color up the brand new Power Poppy Acorn Ornaments image from Marcella Hawley.  I remember that my Mom had some of these lovely glass ornaments at one time.  They were so delicate and sparkly!

~

~

I colored the image with my Copic markers and added some bronze colored stickles and some highlights with a white gel pen.  I also added a strip of washi tape and a stripe drawn with a Copic marker at the bottom, a few scattered sequins, and a bit of twine at the top.

Now it’s your turn to create a paper-crafted card or project with these wonderful colors!  Link it up at the CTD blog!

We have some great inspiration for you here:

Feathered Hello - Color Throwdown #417

~

Hello!  Whoop, it’s Wednesday and time for another awesome color combo challenge!  This week the oh-so-talented Lori is our hostess and she chose 3 colors that are wonderful together: Aqua, Green and Orange.

~

~

Isn’t that a great inspiration photo?

I decided to use the PTI What the Doodle: Feather stamp set and matching die for my card.

~

~

The feather and background are water colored with Distress inks and I used a sentiment from the same set.  I also added one of the PTI  Frosted Borders die cuts in lime green.

These really are fun colors to use!  Won’t you join us this week?  You guys always ROCK the colors! 

Please take a moment to visit with each of our awesome designers to see what they’ve created:
