Let's color it Pink and Red Colorado Craft Company

Hi there! It's good to see you here again. Just in time for our Color Hues Challenge #11 to use Red and Pink. I had so many ideas for this combo, but in the end these cute mice assured me they would look just adorable watercolored in a pale pink. What do you think?

I love the stamps from Colorado Craft Company designed by world-renowned illustrator Anita Jeram. 



I stamped in black and used a brush and Zig markers to watercolor the images.I also scribbled the inks on white card stock to make the pink and red hearts. I added Nuvo drop polka dots onto the gray package, and added a floor from this great stamp by Ink Blots. 

This set is called Birthday Wishing and since it is my first time using it, I will be posting over at NBUS where challenge #23 has just begun on this brand new month.

You will love seeing the fabulous creations from our Design Team, so please head there to check them out! 



Thanks so much for your visit today, hope it's a lovely day for you.

Be yourself

     Delight in your craft 
        Make something beautiful!

Love this card and this stamp set! Mine is STILL sitting unused, and once again you've inspired me to get moving!!!The Nuvo drops are a great addition. At first, I wondered if you'd used a stencil and some paste.

Your mice remind me of the pink sugar ones you used to find in the old fashioned sweet shops of my youth! I am very tempted by the Anita Jeram characters, so far the ones I like most have been out of stock! :)

Cindy, I just Love your pink mice! Such a wonderful and clever way to incorporate all the colors! You are one of those card makers that can do all types of cards and are unpredictable...unlike me! you can pick out a Nancy cad in a line-up for sure! Envious of that ability! Take care!

Your composition, coloring, and placement of the hearts has really made this adorable image come to life, Cindy! I love how you added drops to the gray package ~ I think it looks like a gift of cheese under that wrapping paper, lol! Thank you for sharing with everyone at NBUS! Take care and keep safe! Hugs, Darnell
