MOJO Monday 401 - Wishing you a Fabulous Birthday!

What a fabulous sketch Julee Tilman designed for today's Mojo Monday#401 which just celebrated 8 years in business and will say I love their stamps. Today I pulled out these beautiful flowers to play along this week.  

As you can tell, I've been having fun with watercolors lately and wanted to also join in on the Pretty Pink Posh Water Color Challenge which is ending later today. Also, today is day 8 of the 30 day color challenge Kathy's is hosting over at The Daily Marker . 

Here is my card:

Again, I just love these flowers from the set called: Surely Goodness where I white embossing them first to create a resist background before applying the watercolor to them. Next, I scribbled some water colors onto my craft mat using the Spectrum Noir Aqua markers. 

Since I wanted to soften the color a bit, I made sure to take my water brush and mix the color on the craft sheet before applying to the water color paper. As the saying goes, you can keep adding more colors to intesify the look or add more water to soften the look. 

Stamped the sentiment from the set called: Let it Be and added a very light blue on top of the saying and around it adding just a bit of color since the flowers had enough color. At the end, added some Pretty Pink Posh sequins and added foam mount under the Stitched base rectangle panel.

As always, if you haven't checked out the challenge sites, please go take a look to see fabulous inspiration and creativity.
