It is my pleasure to be your hostess in the Color Challenge this week. I have chosen Hello Honey, Tempting Turquoise, Pear Pizzazz, and Rose Red. The dessert option this week is watercoloring.
I always pick a dessert option that will challenge me. I am a novice at watercoloring, and I need to practice more. This week's dessert option forced me to get out my watercolors and go at it. Even though I have a set with lots of colors, I find I need to mix colors to get what I need. That is the most challenging part for me!
I do love this peony stamp from Catherine Scanlon. I stamped in VersaMark on watercolor paper and white heat embossed, and then watercolored. I stamped the birthday sentiment in VM and heat embossed with gold powder. Mounted with foam strips on a Tempting Turquoise card base.
I've also entered this card in Dina's Falliday Fest "Off to the Side" challenge!
Thanks for stopping by, and please play along with us this week!
