Holiday/Seasonal Focus Challenge (keywords: CCREW0411CF, CreativeCrew, SUO or SUM)
The rain fills our Oceans with the lovely water that balances life here on earth. So in honor of Mother Ocean let's do some watercoloring! Break out your aquapainter and your inks, crayons, pencils, and blender pens! Show us watercoloring at it's best.

One of April's Creative Crew challenges is to watercolour! Of course, you all know that I LOVE watercolouring although I profess no great skill or technique :) I chose to play with Fifth Avenue Floral and watercoloured it with Pink Pirouette and Regal Rose. The bottom layers of cardstock are two different pinks (Melon Mambo and Rose Red) that I stamped the flower on with white ink and embossed it. Then, I cut the edge as the floral border and sponged it with Chocolate Chip ink.

I thought I'd get a head start on my Mother's Day cards so that I have no excuse to be late ... and I generally am for some reason :( So, now that they are made, I will be popping them in the mail at the beginning of May so I don't miss it this year!

Anywho, hope you like it and are inspired to pull out your watercolouring tools and play along with the Creative Crew challenges! Please upload your creations to SCS and let me know if you've played :)

Have a great day!
