Hi friends!
Remember me?!!
It's been a whirlwind around here ~
from last minute trips before school started to
the chaos of school actually starting!
This year, my oldest is in her 2nd year of college,
daughter #2 is a Senior (when did that happen!),
daughter #3 is a Sophomore and
little man is a brand new 4th grader at a brand new school.
We are certainly looking forward to getting used to
the newness of it all and routine to settle - for all of us ♥
I thought I'd show you the card I had made for the Riley and Company's
new challenge - One Layer Cards.
Holy Hanna, that's about the one type of card I don't do!
I love me some layers! ♥

So I thunk and thunk and thunk some more ...
and an idea was born when I was watercoloring.
Let the colors run!
As they were still wet, I tilted my watercolor paper
and let the cards run together - like tie-dye!
From Girl Scouts to Sunday School and lazy summer days here at home,
tie-die is one of the activities we've done and love so much.
Why not on a card!

I used my SU! Watercolor crayons and watercolor paper
and colored it in my VERY favorite color combination :)
I seem to be gravitating to this color combo a lot this summer!
I let the sentiment speak for itself on this one and stamped it
right on the dry paper, peeled off the painters tape from around the edges
and ta-da!
Hard to believe this card took as long as it did to make -
which I will not admit to, LOL!
Did I mention I love me some layers?! :)
Be sure to stop in and see what the rest of the Riley and Company DT
has created!
If you link up your cards to a gallery like SCS,
please use the keyword Riley1714.
Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!

ReplyDeleteLoving this one layer card- the watercoloring is so pretty. Oh I hope the kids get all settled in quickly and you get some time in your crafting cabana.
ReplyDeleteLoving the watercolor background you have created for your one layer card Kellie so pretty and dreamy. I too struggle at times with this type of card. Hope you get settled into your new routine soon! xx
ReplyDeleteSo much fun Kelly and you did an awesome job of creating a one layer card. I hear you about finding it difficult because I like lots of layers too. Your colors are stunning. This is called fun watercoloring.
