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!

 

My Favorite Things Weekly Sketch Challenge

I wasn't sure my blog would still be here!  It's been a long time since I've posted!  Today I'm sharing my entry for the weekly sketch challenge at My Favorite Things.  The details for the challenge can be found here if you're interested in joining the fun!

Here is the sketch...


And here is my take on it...

I used two My Favorite Things stamp/die-namic sets, Tiki Party and Polynesian Paradise, along with the Blueprints #16 die-namics and the Stitched Basic Edges 2 die-namics.  The sunset background was blended with Tim Holtz Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet and Blueprint distress inks.  The images were colored with copic markers.

I had fun putting this card together and hope I can play along on a regular basis.  Thanks for stopping by!
