Time Out Challenge #257 is all about celebrating their 10th birthday - congratulations to Nonni, and Stephanie who keep things rolling smoothly as Sandie and Nonni did - and to the entire T.O. Team of designers!
During these dark days of Winter, I've spent a little time reacquainting myself with water coloring ... those embossed images recently shared were not the only ones to get some attention.
Altenew's gorgeous Pristine Peonies were stamped onto cold press watercolor paper in Antique Linen Distress ink and water colored with their 36-pan set. I wasn't unhappy with the results and thought it would be perfect for a special birthday celebration such as this one! Here's her closeup:
It's obvious that I need to work on the center a little more next time!
But since brown was used, I also used Betterpress Bark ink to create
my birthday sentiment...
The Time Out team has really pulled out the stops with their birthday cards - you can see them all here - but while you're there, I think you should join the celebration, don't you?
