Special Event
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARNELL!!
One more part to this special event.
The team has made special cards for Darnell's birthday,
along with our Guest Designer Leslie,
and several Featured Designers (friends from the retreat).
During our retreat, Darnell (Dolly to us) was up early one morning
and decided she wanted some frozen blueberries.
Some how she spilled almost the whole, Costco-sized bag of
blueberries all over the floor.
Bonnie snapped these pictures.
See the swipe of blueberries on the right photo?? Dolly couldn't find a broom so she grabbed a large piece of card stock to pick up the berries. As they thawed, the blueberry juice "smooshed" on the cardstock in a lovely design that looked perfect for card making.
Well, without Dolly knowing, we kept that piece of blueberry smoosh and cut it up.
Each Designer has used one piece in making Dolly's birthday cards. :)
I am SO HONORED to be a featured guest this month on CAS Watercolour Challenge so I can be a part of celebrating DARNELL'S BIRTHDAY!
Happy Birthday TODAY, July 2nd, Darnell! I am over joyed that I can call you friend!!
I used WPLUS9 Beautiful Bouquets: Dahlia for my watercolour bouquet.
I stamped and embossed it with clear powder, then I used my Inktense colored pencils to color the bouquet. I used the technique Darnell shared with us at the ESCR retreat in May.
Water brush TIP to colored pencil TIP...what a great way to color and have some control!
I fussy cut the image and placed it on my card.
Friends, I hope you will join us this month and show Darnell some love with your Bouquet of Watercolour Flowers to celebrate her birthday!
Heart Hugs, friends!
