The Free For All (F4A465) & Mixabilities (MIX312) Challenges are about Things that go Pop (my balloons) & the color Coral (2 of my balloons are coral). 

My card is pretty easy..I used a few heart die to cut a reverse mask & used it to generally outline the shape of the hearts then watercolored the inside of them. I drew the little strings w/ a white Posca pen & a lt gray marker then added the greeting & few punched silver glitter hearts.

Here’s a look at the inside.

Such a super site for the Inspiration Challenge (IC684)! After much browsing, I chose THIS. It reminded me of a lovely stamp I have but have not used.

I used my Misti to stamp the image onto watercolor paper & stamped it once w/ lt green ink on the leaves & again w/ pink ink on the flowers. After watercoloring it, I decided the image outlines didn’t show up enough, so I stamped over it w/ gold ink & heat embossed w/ gold powder. I used an angled border die to cut the bottom & insert a piece of flower print paper, before putting them back together. The gold stripe edges are washi tape.

It’s my turn to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC683) & we’re heading over to The Spruce for our inspiration. My card is based on THIS picture. I’m also a knitter so the knitting crafts really appeal to me. And it reminded me of this fun Hat, Scarf, Mitten set.

For my winter wear card, I stamped the set onto watercolor paper using the Versaclair ink then used watercolors & a couple of blue & teal Tombow markers to color them. I kept it very light & monochromatic & didn’t entirely color them in. When die cutting it, I used my out of the box technique. The Winter word was die cut once out of the w/c paper & once out of the dp & stacked a little off to give it some depth.
