Hello Everyone ~
Despite sleeping in, I was extremely successful yesterday. It felt so good to be designing. I managed to make my Facebook Live, design team card, and cards for my Christmas Card Series. I was able to take my time and enjoy myself. I like it when I can take my time and enjoy my designing.
Today I have water aerobics in the morning. I also need to dust mop the house. After that I will be working on finalizing my next Inspiration in the Mail. I don’t think it will take long so I will be taking some time to read.
A few weeks ago I took some time and did some watercolor playing. I love playing with ink and water to create great backgrounds. One of the advantages of this play is the left over ink on the craft mat. I use extra watercolor paper to soak up all the left over ink on the mat. Today’s card uses one of those panels for my background. I was playing with Gorgeous Grape, Pacific Point, and Bermuda Bay. Here is how I used one of the panels created from soaking up the ink to create my Watercolor Background Idea.
