Hi everyone and Happy Prettie Monday to you!! I hope you all had a great weekend! We had a nice relaxing weekend with nowhere to go!! Gotta love those kinds of weekends!
I made this card for the last Paper Pretties Stampin' In Your Jammies party. It was for a color challenge hosted by Charmaine. We had to make a card using Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze and Pink Pirouette. I'm still not sure how I feel about this card, because I have a hard time with Kiwi Kiss. I think it's pretty but I had a hard time combining these three colors! This is the very first time that I have tried to watercolor with and aquapainter and reinkers!! It was fairly easy, but I need a lot of practice!
Here are some details on the card: The main image is from Paper Pretties and is called Simply Special. It was stamped in Black Stazon ink onto watercolor paper and colored with reinkers and an aquapainter. I outlined the image with a gray copic marker. It was then cut out using circle Nestabilities. The Pink Pirouette and Baja Breeze DP is from Stampin' Up!'s new Patterns DSP (LOVE this stuff!). The Kiwi Kiss panel was embossed with the Swiss Dots embossing folder. The ribbon is Pink Pirouette Striped Grosgrain. I left it sentimentless so I could use it for something when the time arose!!

Awww... I think you nailed the colors! Kiwi is a hard one for me too, but I like it in the bg with a touch on the flower. Great card! Hugs,

Love you watercoloring - gorgeous shading on the images! Great mix of dp, awesome color combo and that swiss dot bg is the perfect compliment to that image.
