BLOGGERS CHALLENGE - WATERCOLORING- SNEAK PEEK


This is Blogger Challenge Day and I am including another NEW design from my soon to be released stamp set "JESUS is Born." This stamp set will be released on OCTOBER 1. You can see more at the BLOG HOP next week!
I will have TWO more stamp sets released on October 1. Now one thing to note - this set will not include the fence...as I was watercoloring, I decided to draw that in there. The straw/ hay is not part of the set either...I drew that in as I was watercoloring it.
This weeks Bloggers Challenge was to WATERCOLOR. I absolutely LOVE to watercolor, so this was not much of a challenge for me. :) I grabbed my well loved Aquapainter and Watercolor Wonder Crayons and my Vintage Violet (retired SU) and colored while I chatted on the telephone.
Mary's garment was colored with Going Gray, Basic Gray, and Close to Cocoa -Joseph's garment was colored with Creamy Caramel, Close to Cocoa, Going Gray and Sahara Sand.
Here are a few more details:
Stamp Set: Jesus is Born (designed by me!) available at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps
Cardstock and Ink: Vintage Violet, Basic Black, Watercolor Cs - Black Staz On
Accessories: Aquapainters, Watercolor Wonder Crayons, 3 For You Punch, Glue Dots, Grapes Dew Drops, Primas, Glue Dots, Mini Glue Dots, Vintage Violet Ribbon, Dimensionals,
Be sure to check out the other Bloggers Challenges Watercolored cards! I always love seeing their fabulous work!
Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend!

What a wonderful stamp set and how cool that you did the fence, hay etc..by hand (good job). So maybe you can teach me to use the Aqua Painter better since you did such a terrific job on your card. - Love the sentiment on this card.
