My Favorite Things Camp Create 2017 Round 2

This past week was round 2 of My Favorite Things Camp Create 2017.  There were 5 new challenges to participate in.  My first card linked up via Instagram.  For some reason I wasn't able to link these up the same way so I'm adding my cards here to link them up.

Day 2 - Magnificent Masking

Day 3- Background Bonanza

Day 4 - Monochromatic Magic

Day 5 - Delightful Die-cutting

On this last card I finally cracked open my Distress Oxide inks.  Very cool!

Camp Create 2017 Day 2 - Remarkable Resist

I'm back for day 2 of Camp Create 2017 at My Favorite Things.  The activity for day 2 is to create a card using a watercolor resist technique.

 

I embossed the Whimsical Waves background stamp on a piece of watercolors with white embossing powder.  Then I added Peerless watercolors in Robin's Egg Blue, Forget-Me-Not Blue and Turquoise.  I'm listing the colors so that I can come back to this post to remind myself what they were.  I'll definitely be recreating that combination for more cards!

 

 Here is the background piece that I created before I used it on my card.  I have to say that I am so in love with this piece of paper that I didn't want to cut it and put it on the card!  If a certain friend reads this she will laugh out loud.  She makes fun of me because I have a piece of ribbon that I dyed years ago but refuse to cut because it turned out so beautifully!

 

 

 

However, unlike the ribbon I did trim this piece and create the card below.  I added images from the MFT Mermazing stamp set that I colored with copic markers.  The banner is from the Blueprints #28 die-namics set.

 

 

 

I'm really happy with how this card turned out and I've earned my second badge!

 

Camp Create 2017 Day 1 - Wonderful Watercolor

I'm participating in Camp Create 2017 at My Favorite Things.  I'm not sure I can keep up with the daily activities but I'll give it my best shot!

The activity for day 1 is to create a card using watercolor paints.  I chose to recreate the card that was demonstrated in the day 1 video - a galactic background using Prima watercolors.

Here is my card...

I used Canson 140lb watercolor paper and the Prima Classics watercolors.  The white spatter is Tim Holtz Picket Fence distress paint applied with the spatter brush.  The stacked die-cut word is from the Thanks and Hello die-namics.

I'll be honest...once I began painting this I thought it looked like a hot mess!  I nearly gave up but kept pushing through since I had already started and had watercolor paint everywhere!  If I look at it too closely I'm still not sure I like it but I did complete the activity so it counts and I earned today's badge!
