Hey there my crafty pals! I have something fun to announce today - and YOU can join in the fun! Pretty Pink Posh is hosting a big Watercolor Blog Hop starting tomorrow! Everyone and anyone can post a card and we'll all have fun being inspired by each other. Sounds good to me! The only rule is... Use watercolors - in any way, shape or form. Yay!
DETAILS: The blog hop officially opens June 5th at 6am PST and ends June 8th at 11:55pm PST.
CLICK HERE to go to the Pretty Pink Posh Blog to enter your card and to read more about it. Sweet Paulina went above and beyond to get the most awesome sponsors and the best prizes! It's going to be loads of fun! You have all weekend to whip up something amazing. If you click over there now you can see the PPP design team and guest posts links!
To get you inspired early, here's my Watercolor Blog Hop card! I used the Baked with Love stamp set from one of our great sponsors (Lawn Fawn) and some lovely dies and sequins from the Pretty Pink Posh store. It's a match made in heaven - along with my watercolor pencils.
The papers are all from Lawn Fawn - I adore these retro shades of mint and pink! The lovely die cuts are from Pretty Pink Posh - looooove the stitching. I added some twine and some minty sequins.
My background and my images were both watercolored with watercolor pencils. They are so fun and easy to use with a water brush. For the background I used the edge of a pencil to make a nice, light shading of pink and wet it down randomly. The cupcake and the cake stand were colored with watercolor pencils to match the papers.
MANY MANY MANY THANKS TO OUR AWESOME SPONSORS!!!!
And huge thanks and mega-hugs to Paulina for organizing such a fun event! Can't wait to see what everyone creates. See you tomorrow! XO
I love these colors together and that little heart print paper. They are some fun cute stamps. What an adorable card.
