On a card base of Brilliant Blue, I layered Tempting Turquoise. Next, I did a piece of Ink, Spray, Smash (If you haven't tried this - check out the resources section. Faith (Markie's Mom) did an awesome tutorial on this.) Next to the ISS I added a piece of Only Orange that had been inked and run through the crimper.
My focal image is stamped in all three colors and then very loosely watercolored - smearing the colors (yes, this was intentional LOL!). It was cut out and then mounted on a piece of Tempting Turquoise and cut out again.
The sentiment is stamped in Brilliant Blue, punched and put in Styled Silver HPH. Added some brads from the same and a piece of Tempting Turquoise of ribbon.
The challenge today - do at least two things differently - stretch yourself.
1) Using the Bold Bright palette
2) Using my Styled Silver HPH (why, yes, that is called hoarding LOL!)
3) Messy watercoloring as opposed to a controlled look.
4) Remembering to use all the wonderful tutorials listed in the Resources Section (see Ink, Spray, Smash)
Thanks for looking!

Very cool. You are brave to do the ISS technique. (Oh, that stands for In School Suspension, doesn't it? lol)

WOW! This turned out really pretty. I love the look of your watercolors. The brads are really cute too.

great great job! this would have been a stretch for me too, for the same reasons. hoard my hardware, haven't done ink-spray-smash before, don't loosely watercolor, never bring out the crimper, rarely use bold brights. LOVE THIS CARD!!!!
