#GDP361: Watercolor Merry Christmas

This week's challenge at Global Design Project is a color challenge. I couldn't pass up this beautiful color scheme!
 


These colors screamed Christmas to me, and I've been wanting to have a play with the Spruced Up Bundle. Add in a little bit of watercolor, and here's the card I came up with:
 

It's very hard to photograph, but I used an old Wink of Stella brush for my water-coloring, so the background is extra shimmery! I started by using my largest Water Painter and added a good layer of water to Shimmery White Cardstock. Then I used the Wink of Stella brush to add color. 
 


Here is a full list of products used on this card:
Stamps: Spruced Up
Ink: Flirty Flamingo, Parakeet Party, Shaded Spruce
Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Shaded Spruce, Shimmery White Cardstock

#GDP359: Go to Your Happy Place

 


I don't know about you, but I love fall! Well, maybe I love the idea of fall. Here in Arizona it's still topping 100 degrees... I had a fun idea to use the This Birthday Piggy Bundle for my card, and it came out just how I wanted!
 

The leaves are a die in the Playful Piggy Dies set that is part of the Perfect Partners Promotion going on this month. Boy, that's a tongue twister! I simply cut a bunch of the leaves apart to create my fall scene.
 


Here is a full list of the products used on this card:
Stamps: This Birthday Piggy
Ink: Memento Black
Stampin' Blends Markers: Petal Pink, Crumb Cake
Paper: So Saffron, Basic White, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Gingham Cottage DSP
