So much color

I was able to play along with a couple online challenges this week, both are a pretty interesting combination of COLORS!!!

 First off, the Freshly Made sketch.  My color combination is on the unusual side for a winter themed card but I thought it was pretty fun.

 I took a piece of watercolor paper from a little pad of paper I picked up at a Crafter's Warehouse.  The paper was spritzed with some water first and then swiped with four colors of Distress Stain.  The stains reacted with the water and ran for a neat look.  This was sprayed with a white spray and then dotted with some watered down white paint.  I finished it off with some stamped little mittens that are a stamp from Wplus9 Designs.

 Here is the Freshly Made sketch.

 Next off, a card using the Colour Q combination. 

 I used some fun Paper Source stamps, the flower and the leaves.  I stamped the flower twice.  The first one was colored with an orange spray of Stephanie Barnard spray by Clearsnap.  The second was sprayed with a pink spray.  I cut out the middle section of the second flower and added that over the first flower.  The spray made for a fast and easy was to color these flowers. 

 Here is the Colour Q combo.

We were at our pet store this week and they had just gotten in some crabs.  I just loved this guy sitting on top of a big rock.
