ANYways, this challenge is Distress Watercoloring. It can be found in Tim's latest book, A Compendium of Curiosities Vol. 3 and if you don't already have a copy, you can purchase it here.
Once again COC3 is being sponsored by Inspiration Emporium, and one lucky winner gets a $50 gift certificate! Lucky girl or guy!
I knew what stamp I wanted to use for this card but the embellishments gave me a hard time.
I think I'm happy with the outcome. The pearls were so different for me, but I do really like them.
The watercolor, I love. Love love love. Pink and blue are so great together. And this card forced me to open an old TH paper pad I'd been hoarding for like three years.

Lisa...your birthday card is so pretty! I adore Tim's blueprint cupcake stamp and you've done such a lovely job of coloring it with the pastel watercolors. Love that! I also love how you've used the pearls as an embellishment going down the left side of the card...that is so so pretty! Your layers of cardstock to mat the cupcake really finishes off this card perfectly. Thanks for sharing with us at CC3C. <3 Candy

ReplyDeleteA fabulous card - I love the image and the gorgeous layout... but unfortunately it doesn't contain quite enough pink for our challenge at In The Pink - where the criteria is that you use MORE PINK than any other colour. You still have a few days left for this challenge and we'd love to see you enter with another card...

Fantastic card and watercoloring. I too have been hoarding Tim's old Vintage Shabby paper collection. I still use it from time to time. It worked perfectly with your color choices. What a sweet creation! (Get it?)
