Splashes of Watercolor

You're In My Prayers - Color Throwdown 618

~

Hi, everybody!  It's time for a brand new Color Throwdown challenge!  I'm sorry I skipped out on last week's challenge....it was just a very busy week!  

This week's challenge generic colors are Green, Brown, Orange, and Cranberry.

~

What a perfect Autumn combo!  And that salad looks amazing!

Sadly, I needed another sympathy card.  So I used the Simon Says Stamp - Honey Bee collaboration set called On My Mind that I won in a giveaway from the incredible Amy Rysavy.  It has so many wonderful sentiments to go along with this beautiful floral wreath.

~

I colored the floral wreath images with Copic markers using this week's combo colors.  I fussy cut it and popped it up on foam tape over some patterned paper, then added some gold highlights and a tiny acorn on the gold cord bow.

We'd love for you to join in on the challenge.  You can find the details at the CTD blog and lots of inspiration when you visit each of the designers' blogs:

Sending Tulips - Color Throwdown #603

~

Hello and happy Wednesday!  I'm hosting the Color Throwdown challenge this week and I've chosen some BRIGHT summer colors for us to use: Yellow, Orange, and Green.

~

~

I just love the look of those yellow skates!

I decided Tulips were the way to go with these colors so I printed out the Power Poppy Spring Border One - Tulips image and colored it up with my Copic markers.

~

~

I used a retired Papertrey Ink sentiment directly on top of the colored image, then highlighted it a little with a white gel pen.

Now it's your turn to play along!  I can't wait to see what you create!  Check out the awesome creations from the designers:

With Sympathy - Color Throwdown #598

~

Happy Wednesday, y'all!  It's time for a brand new Color Throwdown challenge!  This week our generic colors are Pink, Aqua, Gold, and White.  (And you can use any other neutrals that you wish.)

~

~

I used a lot of gray in my card this week, but that's because it's a sympathy card and also because I wanted my gold sentiment to show up better on the darker cardstock.  Isn't this image beautiful?  And it's so easy to color!

Friday Fun with Power Poppy

~

Happy Friday, everyone!

Today I have a softly colored sympathy card to share with you. 

I watched Sandy Allnock's video on Wednesday and knew right away that I wanted to try her technique using a Copic airbrush system.  It has such a beautiful ethereal look when complete.

~

~

I used an image from the beautiful Power Poppy Sassy Succulents stamp set, with a generic sentiment.  I also used a hill/slope die to cut the top edge of the panel for  some added interest. 

You can head on over to the Power Poppy blog to see a list of the designers who are posting a card today.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

With Sympathy - Color Throwdown #595

~

Happy Wednesday, y'all!  It's time for the latest Color Throwdown challenge!

Jodi is our hostess this week and the generic colors she's chosen are Black, White, and Turquoise!  I love this combo!

~

~

Sadly, I needed a sympathy card this week, so here is what I came up with:

~

~

I started with a water colored background, then simply added black leaves and a black heat-embossed sentiment.  A few rhinestones and some twine were all I needed to complete this CAS card.

We would love for y'all to join us this week!  Check out the challenge details at the CTD blog and be sure to stop by and see what all the designers have created for your inspiration:

Happy Fun Friday!!

~

I actually made two of these cards.  One is for a sympathy card and the other for a get-well card.

Heartfelt Condolences - Color Throwdown #553

~

It's time for our latest Color Throwdown challenge and I'm your hostess for the week.  Our generic colors are Orange, Yellow, and Pink.

~

~

Sadly, I needed a sympathy card this week.  I thought the Rubbernecker Brush Butterflies would work really well using these colors.  And I decided to keep the card very simple.

~

~

Now it's your turn to play along!  Check out all the details at the CTD blog and be sure to visit with all the designers for some awesome inspiration.

Condolences - Color Throwdown #535

~

Happy Wednesday, y’all!  It’s time for a brand new Color Throwdown challenge!  Jodi is our hostess and here is the great color palette she’s chosen:  Red, Yellow, Green, and White

~

~

Sadly, I need a sympathy card so I chose to use some lovely flowers with these colors. 

~

~

Florals are always a good choice for condolences.  The stamp set I used is a 4 part one from Rubbernecker called Wildflowers in the Wind.  So there is no coloring at all.  Each of the colors you see is a different stamp, and it’s easy to line up if you follow the video at the Rubbernecker website.

We would really love for you to play along with us this week!  The challenge details can be found at the CTD blog and please leave some love for each of the designers here:

Forever in Our Hearts - Color Throwdown #501

~

Happy Wednesday, everyone!  Our latest Color Throwdown challenge is brought to you by our hostess, Amy Rysavy.  This great combo consists of Yellow, Gray, Kraft, and White.

~

~

Sadly, I needed a sympathy card this week, so I used the Layered Poppy stamp from Rubbernecker and the great sentiment from Reverse Confetti to make a simple watercolor card.

~

~

This is a tall card, barely fitting into a letter size envelope.  I water colored with Distress inks and added some black enamel to the flower centers and some twine.

We would love to see what you can create with these colors.  Post your creation at the CTD blog.  But first check out all of the inspiration from the design team.

Thinking of You - Color Throwdown #480

~

Hello, everyone!  It’s time for a brand new Color Throwdown challenge!  This week our lovely teammate Wanda has a beautiful combo of Spring colors for us to play with: Lilac, Green, Gray, and White.

~

~

Gotta love beautiful flowers when it seems like winter’s been here forever!

Sadly I needed a few sympathy cards this week, so I used our color palette to create one of them.

~

~

I used Distress inks Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron to create the watercolor background.  Then I stamped the Layered Doilies image from Technique Junkies in SU Orchid Opulence.  (I still LOVE that color!)  The sentiment and heart are from the SSS Thoughtful Messages stamp set and are stamped in Versafine Smokey Gray.

Now it’s time for you to play along!  Join us at the CTD blog to see all the details for the challenge and also visit with the team members to check out the beautiful inspiration they have for you this week.
