Good morning, my splitcoaststampin' friends! Out here in OH, it is quite dreary! Rain, rain and more rain! DOesn't bother me much though! I'm nice and warm inside! :#
We woke up kinda late and so, we had to rush to get my daughter on the bus! Last night, my husband and I stayed up till 1a.m. How am I functioning, right?? Anyway, I checked the challenge last night and went up to my room, took out my water coloring pencils and a paintbrush and started watercoloring! Boy was that RELAXING!! I haven't picked up a paint brush in YEARS!! So happy I swallowed my fears and went for it!
My card:
I finished my image last night #err, early morning I mean!#, and then went to bed! After we put our daughter on the bus, I ran up to finish my card! It took me MANY, MANY different color combos and then it HIT me! I looked outside and all I saw was grey! I grabbed some grey cardstock and... VOILA!! I fell in love!! I think this card turned out pretty nicely considering I haven't watercolored #with a paintbrush# in YEARS!!
Thanks for taking a peak!! There will be some pictures posted on my blog in a bit! #Yup! I have a blog!# You can't tell by the photo, but there are dazzling diamonds in the center of each of the flowers!
Thank you Roxie for an AWESOME sketch!! As you can't tell, I really enjoyed playing today!
