I've been wanting to use my very old watercolor crayons ever since I saw
THIS card by Anne Thompson last month. I didn't do her kind of stripes, although I still want to try that.
I scribbled red, orange & yellow on a watercolor panel & blended with a wet brush. I stamped the sentiment from Poppystamps Hope and Thanks in Versafine Clair Pinecone. Turns out the ink sits on top of watercolor done with crayons. Good thing I took a picture before I smeared it with my finger! Next time I'll heat emboss--live & learn. I used antique bronze Distress Stain for the little gold splatters & die cut Memory Box Prim Poppy from gold metallic paper--shiny & beautiful in person. I'm entering

Next is my entry for the
August Altenew Challenge. The inspiration photo & colors are just gorgeous & right up my alley. My newest Altenew Floral set is Handpicked Bouquet & right now it's my favorite!
I white heat embossed the image & used 2 of my new Altenew inks to stamp the bloom layers: Baby Pink & Magenta. The leaf layers were stamped in Frayed Leaf & Forest Glades. Luckily I had one sheet of cardstock the right deep purple which I die cut with the Altenew Watercolor Stripes Cover die. I masked off part of the sentiment from the same set & stamped it in Versafine Clair Morning Mist. Decided to add some dimension by adding 2 cardstock layers to the die cut which is covered with shimmer mist.
The dots are Shimmer Pico Embellisher which look different depending on the color of cardstock under them. I'm also entering
