Yippee - Spring is on its way!!


The weather today in Cambridge was absolutely gorgeous - 60 degrees and partly sunny! It makes so happy to think the cold air is just about over with. I guess that's what inspired me to make another card today.

Over at SCS, there is a daily challenge to help us stampers be creative and go outside of our comfy little boxes. Monday's challenge was to create a SCENE using kittie747 as our inspiration. Watercoloring is definitely not something I am great at, and making little scenes like these are definitely a challenge. This took a little time, but it was fun and worth trying. If you have never watercolored before, then go check out her gallery. The original card of hers that inspired me is here. I really hope you get inspired to make a watercolor card, it isn't all that hard!!

I created my card by drawing a tree with the pen side of my chocolate chip marker, used the mini palm tress from Balmy Breezes to make bushes and the leaves in the tree and then I watercolored everything in using my watercolor wonder crayons with a blender pen. I sponged bashful blue craft ink onto the chipboard piece.

All usedproducts are from SU!

I think your card is very pretty and I also think that you did a wonderful job with your water coloring. :)
