Growing In Unity Day 3 ~ Summer Color Challenge

Good morning, friends! I do believe I am MOST excited for Day 3! I am absolutely in love with how these 4 cards turned out! Again, I have added several photos with commentary. I appreciate many of you telling me you like that!

 

Wilma, I hope you've had your coffee. You are in for a treat!

 

This summer I participated in a 30 day color challenge hosted by Kathy Rac. I had yet to do anything with the images I colored. Until this week! Below you will find some of my favorite ones turned in to cards. On each of the Angie Girl cards I used a set of border dies from Spellbinders.

 

I love everything about Beatrix Girl! Her mix-matched clothes, her boots and her grey hair. I water colored her with Arteza watercolor pencils.  Her profound statement is from a Graciellie Design set appropriately named "You Matter". This stamp set is fairly new and has some of the most beautiful affirmations. As well as, one of my favorite verses. The fonts she uses are just stunning.

 

 

 

This pretty lady is Elise Girl. I colored her with acrylics. It was a challenge blending them like water colors. I haven't used them since actually. Lol. Her beautiful statement is also from "You Matter". (You're able to read it better on the next photo.) This one is definitely being sent to my daughter, Samantha. She is my 27 year old flower child! What a soul that precious lady has. (Gianna Girl would have worked perfectly for my Samantha, too. I don't own her, but I'm thinking now I should!)

 

 

I love the look adding the wooden heart gave this piece.

 

 

I love this beautiful Anna Girl! The sentiment belongs to her. It fits her delicate disposition. I also used Arteza watercolor pencils on her. I was so excited when I came across the complimenting paper. I may have even exclaimed Eeek! :) The pinks in the DSP match her dress perfectly.

 

Can you pick a favorite of this trio of beautiful girls?! I think mine is Beatrix Girl. :)

 

 

This last one I turned into a birthday card for my Momma. I looked back in my photos and found the one I originally posted to my Instagram on June 20. Can you believe I watercolored this beautiful piece with Gelatos! They have such a gorgeous pearlescent look. I did end up mixing a tiny bit of green from a watercolor pencil to help the color of the leaves really pop.  I just love it!

 

 

The flower is from You Are Forever Beautiful and the sentiment from a Graciellie Design called Sweetness. I masked off sweet friend that was under the happy birthday. I fussy cut around the flower so that this beautiful background paper would show. I am so happy I found this in my ever growing stash of DSP! It matches just perfectly.

 

 

 

 

Here are most of the images I colored from the 30 day challenge. I will eventually make the remaining few into cards. I wish I would have had time to turn the planted pot into a card for you this week. (I still may.) It is a UU called Succulent Greetings. I love this stamp and was very happy with how the shading on this one turned out.

 

 

I sure hope you enjoyed today as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Be sure to leave a comment, here on my blog each day, for a chance to win 1 of 2 Unity prize packs. I will also be picking a winner to receive a separate prize pack from me!

I look forward to being with you all again tomorrow as it will be all about techniques I've never used before. Talk about nervous!

As always~

Thanks for spending time with me today!

Until next time~

Be blessed, friends!
