Watercolours for MDS Monday!

Good morning, friends

Today at MDS Monday, Tami has a really cool sketch and challenge for us. She's got us trying out watercolour washes! This was new to me, but I enjoyed it very much. I was having a hard time committing to a design. I went from pinks and yellows with flowers to greens and browns with pics of my kids. Ultimately, I decided to finally use the Sail Away stamp brush that I have never used.

My mom turned me on to this stamp. She has the actual stamp and has made some absolutely gorgeous cards with it. I thought it would be perfect for a male 'thinking of you' card.

I started with some blue washes (Marina Mist and Bashful Blue), but felt there needed to be another colour in there to imply that it was dusk. Felt like a good time to go on a sailboat.

Check out the sketch this week:

The projects this week by the design team are absolutely fabulous (like all other weeks!), so please go check them out :) We can't wait to see what you come up with for this fun challenge.

Thanks for stopping by today!
