My friend Shellie and I decided to have a little stampin' challenge. Shellie has great ideas for challenges, so we used one of hers: Playing Favorites - Create your piece using one of your favorite stamps or stamp sets, your favorite coloring technique, with your favorite piece of designer paper.
I chose my Sunflower Vase stamp -- it was one of the first stamps I released with Whipper Snapper and is still one of my favorites! I stamped the image in black StazOn (of course), and watercolored the image with re-inkers since that IS my favorite way to color an image...
And what's not to love about all the fabulous colors of Bo Bunny polka dot basics paper!? On this card, I chose to use Rust. Fall is my favorite season, and this color just screams autumn to me.
I also chose to use some chocolate colored twine, and a chocolate colored button. And more favorites, faux sewing and inked edges!
That's a lot of favorites!
You must check out Shellie's Playing Favorites card, posted in her SplitCoast gallery! And take a long look through her gallery while you're there -- you're sure to see why Shellie is one my favorites, too!
Wow!!! Your work is very beautiful. I could therefore say that you are such a very artistic person. Have a nice day!!!

Be still my heart! THIS is why I love watercoloring! And I love all those Bo Bunny polka-dot papers too (I have at least a teal colored one if not more)! Thanks so much for inviting me to play a little challenge with you. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
