Tuesday is 'use what one has' day. I'm traveling, brought some supplies along but really didn't have much close to today's colors. However I now always bring my watercolors, so I mixed up some colors as closely as I could, splattered the wc paper multiple times and used a stash background for the vase of flowers and leaves. I used some gel pens to add some accents, again the closest I could come. The stamp set is new to me, I didn't even know I had it in my bag. Hah, serendipity! I did a lot of tearing to add interest.
This is also for Sunday's FS featuring Kim (berlycece). I'm always surprised to find out that some have never been the FS, like Kim. Here is what I CASEd: Virtual Bouquet by berlycece at Splitcoaststampers
Similar colors, used a floral stamp, otherwise not much the same. Enjoyed looking at all your VSN offerings, Kim.

I think you got those colors covered! Love the tearing and those five-in-a-row dots in three corners are terrific!!! You sure had the right stuff in your "Go Bag"!!!

Wonderful card! I love how you used your watercolors and created that fabulous background. I'm with Chris on the not really needing a lot to be creative. I think I'm actually more creative with less. It forces me to think!

Sweet card. Love the confetti look of your bg and that is a lovely floral image. Serendipity is a good thing. The torn edges do add a lot of texture and interest. Wonderful card.

Clever ideas for your traveling crafty experience. Love how you created with the challenge colors with what you had with you. How wonderful you had a new stamp set with you for the dessert option. I am traveling this week, too. I did not bring any crafting supplies, but you gave me some good ideas for a traveling kit for next time. Beautiful card!
