After seeing the gorgeous inspiration photo, I couldn’t resist playing along with Ellen Hutson’s Pin-Sights Challenge. I got together with my favourite local crafty peeps this weekend – Ardyth, Natasha and Tracey – and I brought my Gansai watercolour paints along. They all tried them and fell in love with them. Who wouldn’t? 😉

I used Ardyth’s Bold Blossom Stand-Alone Dies and I’m going to have to get my own set. They’re so gorgeous! I watercoloured them using gold and black paints. After letting the gold paint dry, I pooled some black paint on an acrylic block and flicked the brush to create splatter on the roses.

I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from Love You So twice, once in white on black cardstock and again in black on white cardstock. Then I trimmed the sentiment into strips and reassembled them in alternating colours. I felt that the card needed a pop of colour so I drew from the redwood floor in the inspiration photo and coloured white enamel dots with an R89 Copic marker.

This challenge ends tonight but there will be a new one up tomorrow. I’m looking forward to it and I hope you’ll play along!

This is beautiful! It's hard to believe you can get such a gorgeous gold from watercolour paint! The design is fabulous and I really like how you pulled from the inspiration pic.
Emily the finished project is gorgeous! When I watched you watercolour the flowers I thought you were going to do something wonderful with them! The black and white sentiment is amazing!
So wonderful Emily.
This is a really cool card. The spattered roses are eye-catching and the unique look of the sentiment made me do a double-take. Thanks for another inspirational post!
Stunning, your crafty day together sounded absolutely perfect! Love, love, love your card especially the black/white sentiment.
You do know I'd give anything to craft along with you girls, right? I bought those dies yesterday, Emily… you should come to my house next to borrow them!!
