Watercolor Blog Hop--Hosted by Pretty Pink Posh




Want to get inky with watercolors and win prizes from some of your favorite sponsors?
Pretty Pink Posh is hosting a blog hop tomorrow, so you can share your projects,
and score some great prizes, too. Check out these sponsors:



I'm thrilled to be guesting today--thank you, Paulina!--to share a card and hopefully,
inspire you to join the hop!

 
I recently purchased Zig Kuretake Clean Color brush markers, after watching
Jennifer McGuire use them on her video here. I didn't use them for coloring, but
"smooshed" the ink on acetate like Laura Bassen did here with Distress inks.

I chose colors in rainbow order and created a background for the butterfly
and sentiment from My Favorite Things. I finished off the card with Pretty Pink Posh
Sparkling Clear sequins--my absolute favorite!

 
Watercoloring is fun and forgiving, and the results make you feel like an artist!
There are so many mediums to try, and no two cards will ever turn out the same
so each one is original. Gotta love that!

Here are the deets for the hop:
  • The fun begins tomorrow, June 5th at 6am PST and ends on June 8th at 11:55pm PST.
  • Link up your project(s) at the Pretty Pink Posh blog. Enter as many times as you wish!
  • If we reach 100 entries, Paulina will donate a $20 Ellen Hutson OR Simon Says Stamp gift certificate to the list of prizes. 200 entries? Another $20 gift certificate will be up for grabs.
    Paulina will continue to add a gift certificate for every 100 entries, up to 500.
 So break out your inks, markers, and watercolors and link up your projects
starting tomorrow, June 5th, at the Pretty Pink Posh blog. Hope to see you there!

    Smooshing with the Zigs, I can do that! Your card is gorgeous, I love that background. The Zigs didn't make me an expert watercolorer immediately, unfortunately, but I'm not gonna give up.
