Be Inspired Blog Hop--Creating with NEW In Colors!

Welcome friends to another fantastic Be Inspired Blog Hop! We are so happy you have stopped by and hop you enjoy being inspired with our In Color Collection this month!

One thing I have in my craft room that I do not dig out enough is my Watercolor Paper. So I decided to incorporate it into my design this month!

Don't these 5 new colors look awesome as a group!

I watercolored little sections of each of the 5 new In Colors—Moody Mauve, Copper Clay, Wild Wheat, Pebble Path and Boho Blue. Don’t they look fabulous?

I die cut a whole bunch of stars using the Beautiful Balloons dies—I LOVE these dies! I love stars and I have had this idea for a while! I think they look really fabulous on this slim line card.

For my slim line card I take an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of card stock and I cut it to 8 1/2 x 7, then score at 3 1/2. I then trim the remaining card stock to create a base layer of 8 1/4 x 3 1/4. Its the perfect way to use almost the entire sheet for one card.

The sentiment is from the Good Feelings stamp set which has really oversized bold sentiments in it. I used both Wild Wheat and Pebbled Path on the sentiment and popped it up with a few Dimensionals.

Then I just started laying and tucking stars all around! I started with Copper Clay, then Moody Mauve, Boho Blue and the Wild Wheat and the Pebbled Path (I wanted those to line up with the sentiment).

I think the stars cut from the water color paper have more texture and interest than if I just cut them all from card stock. And doing stuff with water color techniques makes me feel like a real ‘Artiste’!

After I had all the stars in place I decided to add a bunch of the In Color embellishments…I might have went a little crazy, but then this is an extra special card! haha~I hope whoever gets it one day will really love it as much as I did creating it!

I can’t wait to see what the rest of the team has created with In Colors! I am sure you will be inspired by their creativity, I know I always am.
