Hello my crafty friends,
Happy Friday! Do you guys have any plans for this weekend?  I would love to go see Maleficent but we will see if time permits:)

 Today's card will focus on Watercoloring. As you guys may already know Watercoloring is all the rave right now throughout all the blogs and YouTube. I was totally inspired to watercolor after watching a few videos from Jennifer Mcguire. I also have a video on using your inks to water color. I hope you enjoy today's card and have a fabulous day!
Reminder: June 1st is the last day for the Occasions Catalog, make sure to order your favorite products at Stampin' Up! my On-Line store
Please make sure to stop by this Saturday and Sunday for some sneak peeks before the release of the New Catalog June 2nd!!

I thought the color of the flowers matched perfectly with the Pacific Point 
from Stampin' Up! I used a watercolor palette from the local craft store that 
I've had for ever and never used until today, I must say that I did't really 
like it but overall the watercoloring turned out OK.  


I added a Scallop Trim Border to the bottom of Whisper White which 
is retiring so make sure you grab it before it's gone.  I then  used my 
Stampin' write marker in Pacific Point to add the doodle on the 
sentiment and some Rhinestones. The base measures 4-1/4 X 5-1/2 
and the Whisper White layer measures 3-3/4 X 4-3/4

Place your Stampin' Up! Order at my

    Beautiful card Norma. I just bought some watercolor pencils and I wasn't sure if I would like them but I have had fun playing with them. Getting a little better at using them but it does take some getting used to. Have a great weekend.
