Popping in at the very ast minute with a card for the Pretty Pink Posh Watercolor Blog Hop!
First time in my studio in over a week! I am having some serious withdrawl, to go from spending every moment I could creating to closing my eyes when I pass the door has been hard. I have been busy getting things in order so that I can come back in here and do what I love to do.
I have seen so many beautiful cards and I just want to practice practice practice to get better with watercolouring. As soon as I saw Lindsay Amrhein's card and smooshing technique HERE I wanted to try it out. It didn't turn out exactly as I had hoped but smooshing over top of white embossing is so fun. I'm definitely going to try it again.
I am also submitting this to Virginia's View Challenge #15 Ombre/Monochromatic...
and to Day 8 of the 30 Day Coloring Challenge 2 with Kathy Racoosin...

Fab card Tracey! Love that you left the edges of the panel unfinished so it looks totally casual but with an eye catching burst of color, love it! TFS!

Smooshing looks good on you! I love your rainbow of colors and the bold sentiment is fantastic!

Oooh, smooshing, chevrons and rainbow colours ... how gorgeous, Tracey! Hugs, Anita :)
Tracey, I think you have the smooshing/embossing combination down to an art! Gorgeous card in every way - and thank you for the video link. I may even give this a try! I agree with the others: a knock-out! Hope the packing/house buying are going well!
Hugs~c
I found out I'd been doing smooshing all wrong. I was doing it the Kristina Werner way which is okay but different. Even less control than the acetate way. Your smooshing turned out great and I love it over the chevrons.
Wow, this looks great. Tracey! Nice that you could enter so many challenge,love this one!
This has soooo much visual impact! It's absolutely stunning with its vibrant rainbow background!! GORGEOUS!
Awesome. Love this. Need to get my watercolors out again!
Great card! Love the watercoloring/resist on the background!
Gorgeous!
What a wonderful card Tracey...just love the incredible look you created.
Love the colorful background you made!
Definitely going to have to give this technique a try. I love that rainbow over the chevrons!
Awesome card, Tracey! Love the awesome watercolored background you created...perfect backdrop for the word die!
So pretty, Tracey! Love the gradient of color, and those chevrons show it off perfectly!
This is such a winner Tracey!
Tracey I love rainbow-colores and your card is just g-r-e-a-t!
