Just Because


I haven't had a minute to make cards until tonight.  So this card is for a few challenges:  Retrosketch #111:

Muse Challenge #67:  Marion Vagg's card:





and the SCS color challenge - Pumpkin Pie, Real Red and Pacific Point.

I used SU! Pumpkin Pie and Real Red Markers and Memento Bahama Blue marker.  I stamped the flower block with Versafine Onyx Black. I then colored on an acrylic block with a Pumpkin Pie marker, picked up the color with a wet aquabrush and color washed it over the entire flower. Then I picked up real red marker off the block and painted over the Pumpkin Pie in several places. I then painted the background with the Bahama Blue marker ink and aquabrush. 

The colors in my card are similar to Marion's colors, I used a flower and made my card square.
I will be taking the Online Card Class - Watercoloring and our pre-class work is to play around with watercolors - different paints, markers, etc.  I am submitting this to the pre-class gallery.

Today Darnell, Kim and I met at the Paragon Outlets in Livermore.  We shopped and had a little lunch and then shopped some more.   Here we are at the Ghirardelli Outlet.  It was such a fun day!


Thanks for coming by!
