It’s Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I got my cards for the retirement village ladies done, shopped for my home decor challenge next week at Late Night Stampers, and made the card I am sharing with you today. I was a very busy lady!
I am going to work on the tutorial for the check box. I have to take the pictures and make sure my measurements are correct and then I will post it later today so check back to see it.
My card today is for the color challenge at Diva Coffee Break Designs.
In looking through my challenge blogs I came across a challenge blog hop at Just Add Ink. Their designers were all choosing a different technique and creating a project using the technique. Your challenge was to choose 1 of the techniques and create a project then post it. I saw lots of great techniques. I chose to use the watercolor technique listed on Sarah Klass’s blog. I stamped my flower using versamark and black on shimmery white cardstock. I then used my aqua painter and the lid of the Rose Red pad to color the flower. When it was dry I cut it out and used a gold gel pen to color the center of the flower. I created a card fold that has the triangle point of the left side inserted into a slit on the triangle point of the right side. I have a sentiment hidden under the 2 flaps.
I cut a strip from my card front 1″ from the top and the bottom. I used this flap to create a layer the same size. I did this to attach my triangle flaps to and to be hidden from the inside of the card. This layer was attached to the card front layer. I then used a piece of white for inside the card. Since I had cut the 1″ from the top and bottom of the card front, I then used a strip of Rose Red and the scallop trim border punch to make the top and bottom element. Here is my creation.

I've never seen that type of card fold – fun. I like the watercolored flower and the ribbon to go with it.
This is great. Love the card fold and the beautiful watercolouring. Thanks for playing along at Just Add Ink.
Lovely card fold and colours used here and gorgeous watercolouring too.
