Live, Love, Laugh--PP #241

April 19, 2015

 It's Sunday and time to join the The Paper Players for a wonderful challenge by our lovely, Nance!  She selected Clean and Simple Watercolor for us to play along with this week! We can't wait to see what you create for your projects!

I think clean and simple is the most difficult type of card for me.  I just want to add more and more.  This week, I kept it very simple.  I had so much fun creating watercolor backgrounds, but finally decided to go with this one.  I mixed a variety of oranges and yellows to create this coral look.  It is Springy and bright.  

To create my card, I stamped my sentiment in Versa Mark on watercolor paper and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. Using my Peerless watercolors, I added water and brushed away until I got the color I wanted.  
After it dried, I added a white twine bow and a few sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.
Such a simple, quick card but, I think the sentiment speaks volumes!
Thank you for taking time to stop by my blog.  Please leave a message and let me know your thoughts.  I always love to hear from you!

    Fabulous card, Claire. Love the subtle shading and color changes in your watercolor background. This sentiment is perfect for a CAS card--nothing more need be said. Hope you are getting some sunshine today!

    What an awesome watercolored card, Claire! This is one of my favorite hues....I call it "sunset"!!! Don't you think that's a great name for a color? Such a fun technique, too!
