Playing in Paradise #73 - Inspired by Watercolour

You may not already know this, but our very own Angela is a very talented watercolour painter as well as papercrafter (and many many other titles, of course!). This week for Playing in Paradise #73 she's challenging us to be inspired by watercolour:
PPC #73

I printed out the inspiration photo - something I rarely do - because it was impossible for me to prompt myself with words this time. After carrying it around in my books for days, I tried to separate some of the elements from the final picture - wavy lines, colours, etc. When I did that, Konnichiwa came to mind:
Supplies: papers from Basic Grey "Konnichiwa;"
butterfly dies from Spellbinders;
scrap white vellum;
Martha Stewart butterfly punch;
Vintage Photo distress ink;
sentiment stamp from AmyR Designs
Get inky & play along with us - Playing in Paradise #73 is open until next Thursday, July 5 (holy cow, July already?!)

Don't forget to check out what the other designers have been up to!

xoxo,
Jessi

  6. You're right - that paper does have a very watercolour feel - and it's so contemporary, too! I love the addition of vellum - I was hoping someone would do something inspired by the style of the image prompt - good for you!
