Color Hues #46 For Lindsey

It is so hard to lose a friend.  The team at Color Hues and Seize the Birthday are honoring their teammate, Lindsey, with their current challenge.  I can't think of a better way to pay tribute to a fellow card maker.   

Here is my card - I'm so sad that Lindsey never got to celebrate her 60th birthday.  I'm sending a little celebration to her in Heaven.

My deepest condolences to all of Lindsey's teamies, and her family.

A 5th birthday celebration with CAS Mix Up

 

There's a partay going on, and I'm heading over to celebrate with 

that fabulous CAS Mix Up team!!

Bonnie is the Host with the Most this month - yay, Bonnie!

Here is her assignment:

Bonnie, I think I managed that wonderful print-making this time!!!

Here is where my card started... with a darling little die from SSS.  The key to my success was using the right water color card - Canson cold-pressed XL to be specific.

... a few distress inks for watery stamping ...

... and a wet stamping with just the outline portion of the sunflower!  I even used a second die cut, water-colored all the little petals, and tucked them back in!  I'm so

very happy with how it turned out!!  

I know many prefer the bright white of TH, but I adore this gorgeous paper!  I've also found that MFT's Whip Cream heavyweight card stock is the perfect match!

I'd better get this card delivered to the CAS Mix Up March 2021 gallery!

Thank you to the entire team, and especially to Loll, and Bonnie who

got this whole party started 5 years ago!  Thanks, ladies!  and Happy 5th birthday!!
