Watercolor Wonder Challenge



    One of the last challenges I gave to my downline was to use the supplies I gave them on a card.  I included one card from the Watercolor wonder card kit, small samples of each one of the designer Watercolor Wonder papers, and a small strip of gold sequins. I loved the results.

    

    Amanda W used tiny strips of each color of the designer paper.  She attached strips of the sequins under her tag.  Notice the matching envelope.



     Cindy said she didn't like the look of the sequins so she tucked them underneath a piece of the designer paper.  I think the touch of gold looks great.

    


     Nan used the sequins as centers to the flowers and featured the flower side of the designer paper.  She was excited to have blue and green as the colors we used on this challenge.



   Amanda F embossed the card base, made a window to view the saying, and made cute flowers out of the designer paper.  Love the way she used the zigzags as a border on her card.



     I cut out my card front using the Apothecary Accents framelit.  I noticed the flowers on the DSP seemed similar to the Pansy punch and punched them out.  You know me the easy way is the best way.

   I loved the cards my team came up with.  What would you create with the supplies I gave my team.  Have fun thinking and creating.

Watercolor Wonder Suite


    
   The new Occasions catalog is divided into suites and one of my favorite suites is the Watercolor Wonder suite. I have always loved the look of watercolor and think the items offered bring out my favorite things I like about watercolor.

1. The Happy Watercolor stamp set used in this card sample.  Love the splotches with the watercolor look, the poppy and the sayings.

2. The gold washi tape.  Usually not to crazy about gold and silver, but love this because it is a dull gold look, not bright and flashy.

3. The subtle look of the baker's twine with a bit of gold or silver twisted around the basic color.

4. The string of sequence.  I have seen card samples where people even pull out individual sequence as accent pieces.

  We made this card at the Jubilant Butterflies meeting and I realized after making the card how much I loved all parts of this suite.  Which suite is your favorite?  There are several ways you can purchase your favorite items from this catalog.
