Watercolor Challenge #22

Are you ready for another Watercooler Challenge?  This one is all about watercolor and silhouette.  While I'm not sure you would consider this one a true silhouette given it simply fills in the blanks with color, in all honesty, this is the one that turned out the best.  I can't begin to tell you how many times I started a project and made some kind of glaring mistake.  So, I simplified everything and you see the result below.

We would love to see what you create using the challenge.  Be sure to link your project by Friday, April 24th at 7:30 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time.  You could be the next winner!


Stamp Set:  Butterfly Basics; Inks:  Crushed Curry, Marina Mist, Pear Pizzazz, Wisteria Wonder, VersaMark Embossing Ink; Card Stock:  Basic Black, Watercolor Paper, Wisteria Wonder; Accessories & Tools:  Basic Black Embossing Powder, 3/8" Mossy Meadow Stitched Satin Ribbon, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Glue Dots, SNAIL Adhesive, Dimensionals, Heat Tool, Stampin' Trimmer

The inspiration comes from the current Watercooler Challenges.

  1. What a beautiful soft card Marsha. I really enjoyed the colour combination and how you've layered the flower over top of it. I'm totally in love with the Butterfly Basics Stamp set but I find that flower a bit intimidating. Seeing it used on your card as a silhouette, encourages me to use it. Your watercolour background makes me visualize the sun breaking through the clouds and shining down on the flower garden. The ribbon is a really nice touch too. Thanks for sharing.

    1. Thanks so much, Penny! Butterfly Basics is a favorite and I'm so glad it carried over into the new catalog.
