VC Rocks Blog Hop- Color My World

I'm so lucky to be a part of VC Rocks again this year. VC stands for Virtual Convention......a group that exists only during the summer for those of us that are super excited about the Stampin' Up! yearly convention. This group is open to everyone, not just SU! demos who want to participate in a virtual convention. During the summer we have several blog hops, so this weekend is just the first of some amazing projects.

Our theme this time around is Color My World. As you can see from my card, I

interpreted the theme to mean watercoloring. I always was in awe of the amazing watercolored projects I see all over the internet. I always thought it was too hard though. I'm not an artistic person, so I believed that watercoloring was outside of my talent level. Boy was I wrong! With SU!'s watercolor paper, ink, and an aqua brush I created this gorgeous card! Trust me if I can do it, so you can you.

This card was made using Always Artichoke, Old Olive, So Saffron, and Tangerine Tango ink. By using the water to blend the colors you can come up with amazing hues. Like I mentioned earlier, I used the watercolor paper as well as So Saffron, Always Artichoke and Tangerine Tango card stock. For best results, you should also use a detailed stamp. For this I chose Elements of Style. I love the way this turned out....don't you?

Now, if you want to see some more amazing coloring techniques make sure you visit Mary Campbell's blog. And if you didn't just come from Ellen Kemper's blog, make sure you go back and check her's out as well. Enjoy the rest of the hop!
