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!

Beautifully done, a masterful job on the shading and depth of color! I forget how striking the white embossing technique adds to the overall design and forget to use it!!

My goodness, the colors you chose for this week absolutely sing in this stunning card. I do not see a novice water color artist in this piece of artwork at all. This is one gorgeous card done to the 9's! ~Karen.
