Stampin' Up! Special Reason Watercolor Card #GDP085 #GDPwinner

Happy Monday Peaches! For today's post I'll be participating in the Global Design Project color challenge. This week's challenge features a card by Anna Krol, using the 2015-2017 Stampin' Up! in-colors. Here's my project:

Update: I was chosen as a winner!!!



Here's the challenge colors:

You all know how much I love watercolor, but I wanted to add more texture and dimension to my card, so I took the small and large leaf dies from the Stylish Stems framlits dies and die cut a bunch from watercolor paper. I adhered them in a fun, sort of "falling" pattern to my watercolor paper layer. I then, took my Mint Macaron ink pad, squeezed some ink from the pad into the well of the ink pad lid and used my aqua painter to add some color. I also added some Cucumber Crush to accent the leaves with a bit more vibrant areas of color. After the watercolor was dry, I added flicks of Whisper White craft ink with my aqua painter.


After it dried, I added a flower from the Special Reason stamp set in Watermelon Wonder, along with some layered leaves in Cucumber Crush cardstock. Lastly, I added some Wink of Stella for some sparkle and a few pearls to finish it off. I tried to capture the sparkle in the final photos.






Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you've enjoyed today's project! If you loves these colors get them while you can as they will be retiring at the end of May. Check out the link below.

    1. That's so kind of you, Cheryll! I think after staring at it for so long, while creating it, it begins to look less and less appealing so it's so nice to hear that you like it. 😊
