The Crazies Are Wild for Flowers

 

Rebecca Ednie is the Crazy4Challenges hostess for April.  For another week we are thrilled to have the very fabulous Teresa Kline from Paperie Blooms joining us.  Here is Rebecca's challenge for this week.

April Showers bring May flowers! Please use some springtime flowers on your card or project this week! I can't wait to see all of your daffodils, hyacinths, tulips, crocuses, cherry blossoms and all the others I've not listed!

I used an old SU stamps along with Tim Holtz watercolor crayons.  For a first try, it didn't come out too bad.  I have a long way to go with watercoloring techniques, but I keep trying.

Be sure to visit the Crazies Blog to see the garden of flowers created by the DT.

CCEEers Face Double Challenge

 

Anne continues as the April hostess for the CCEE Stampers Challenge.  This is her challenge for the week.......

 

One layer cards are always easy to mail.  Create a one layer card with a water color panel or background.

 

I so admire the watercolor creations other stampers have been doing lately.  I try and fail.  So this week I decided to try a smaller area.  I first masked the part of the panel that I wanted to remain white.  I then used a Tim Holtz watercolor crayon along with water and a brush to create the background on the watercolor paper background.

 

I then stamped and embossed the tree and sentiment.  I must admit that I really (really) like the result.  Maybe now I can again give a try to some of the other watercolor techniques.  Small steps.....small steps......hahaha.....!!!!

 

Be sure to visit the CCEE Blog to see the other fabulous one layer watercolored creations.  I am sure we will all be inspired.......this team has some real talent!!!!
