Barbara's color challenge this week is Hello Honey, Tempting Turquoise, Pear Pizzazz and Red Rose. My mojo's been on vacation for months....how does one get it back? A dear friend challenged me to make a card and upload it this week. She has to do one also. Sometimes you need a little help from a friend. Starting with the digi watercolored with reinkers....did dry brushing for the shading. Framed it and added the sentiment with pen and nib. Added the gold cord. Thanks for looking.

This is gorgeous Linda - no doubt about it!!! You must have found your mojo. Your no line watercolor is beautiful. The gold and die cuts really help create extra elegance.

Thank Heavens your friend challenges you or we would have missed seeing this mojo renewing creation! You have secretly been practicing your water coloring, I think. It's always been good, but this creation is absolutely stunning!

Oh Linda, to ever make something this lovely my mojo would have to be on steroids. You are just a master at watercoloring...can you hear the envy in my voice.? Not a single watercolored card in my gallery. They all end up in the trash ...usuaslly preceded by a hissy fit. The gold details look fantastic.
