CAS Watercolour November Challenge: Text

I am so excited to announce that I am on Loll and Bonnie's new CAS Watercolour Card Challenge  Design Team along with the other new Design Team Members...Susan, Karen and Harriet. Congratulations girls.  We are going to have so much fun playing together :-)

Be sure and visit the CAS Watercolour Card November Challenge link  to check out all the team members beautiful and creative "Text" cards and visit their blogs to leave them some love:-)

The challenge for November is Clean and Simple Watercolouring and "Text" (other than a sentiment).

I knew I wanted to color with my Zig markers one of the flower images from the STAMPlorations "Color Blooms" coloring book because many of the pages already have "Text" among the flowers.  After coloring the images I trimmed my piece to 3" x 3",  splattered with black diluted acrylic paint and drew a faux sewing frame.  The magic really happened after I attached my piece to a scrap of mixed media paper and covered the piece with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

I LOVE how it brightened the flowers and added shine to the entire main image.

I finished my card by using my MISTI to stamp my sentiment to a die cut card front of SU Whisper White Thick CS.  Then I Popped up my image using foam tape.  Added rhinestones for a bit of bling and Done!

My card is also for STAMPlorations Never Ending Anything Goes Challenge.

The new CAS Watercolour November Challenge ends on November 24th so you have plenty of time to play along.  I can't wait to see your beautiful CAS Watercolour Text creations.  Happy Stamping,..

STAMPlorations Color Blooms Blog Hop

Here is my Color Blooms card for the current STAMPlorations Color Blooms Blog Hop.

 I  used part of the Dogwood Page that I had colored with my Zig markers on August 6th.  It was for the STAMPlorations Color Blooms Sampler Challenge.

Here is the link on my blog with the description of my sample for STAMPlorations Color Blooms Sampler Challenge.

I had so much fun coloring the printed copy of the Dogwood page that Shery shared with all those playing in the challenge that I ordered the Color Blooms Book...34 coloring pages of gorgeous flowers!

For my finished card I cut the sampler to size and attached to a piece of SU Basic Black CS.  I then popped up the layer onto SU Whisper White Thick CS.  I stamped the "Art Is" sentiment with Archival Jet Black ink onto Whisper White CS and attached to my card front.  Added "Wink of Stella" to my flower centers for a bit of bling.  That was it.  So quick and easy,  since my main image was already colored.

Enjoy and thank you again Shery for your creative and fun Color Blooms Book and fun Challenges.

Thank you for visiting and especially for your comments.  Hugs.....
