Hi, it's Therese and I'm so excited to host the July 2019 Inspiration Challenge. This month's colors make me so very happy and I couldn't wait to start creating!
I decided to use the Everlasting Happiness Stamp Set and color with watercolors. I started with the Watercolor Brush Markers.
Then I progressed to the Watercolor 36 Pan Set.
Next, I added some ink spray splatters. The sentiment today comes from the Sincere Greetings Stamp Set and is stamped with the Obsidian Pigment Ink.
I decided to film as I created and you can watch the video here or in HD on YouTube.
I hope that you join the fun challenge and get inky! Our Design Team and I look forward to checking out what you created! Thank you for stopping by!

Such a pretty card! Enjoy watching you do water coloring.
Thanks so much Linda
I so enjoyed watching your video, and love how this card turned out! Yes I am inspired!!
Why thank you Cindy
Okay! I really wondered where you were going with this but the finished product is so lovely. You did it again. Makes me want to get more adventurous in my techniques. Thank you so much.
I was probably thinking the same thing at the time lol.
Can’t say I like this card, Therese–I LOVE it! So out of my comfort zone with how you made the background, but you make me want to try! You are always inspiring–thank you!
Thank you so very much Greta, I love these colours together!
Stunning card, Therese! Your video is a great help to me to learn how to spread the water color instead of coloring every space perfectly. Thank you!
Thanks so much Kathy
Hello Therese: What a gorgeous card!! watching you create it inspired me to participate on this challenge.
I love everything about this card, especially your watercolor wash in the background, I would be so terrified to do this after all the work you put into coloring your beautiful flowers.
Thank you for the inspiration.
Hugs.
Maria.
It wasn’t looking good there for a while lol.
I love the watercoloring. I am just a novice at it. I guess I can’t enter the challenge because I don’t have a blog. You need to have a blog in order to enter, correct? Well, I am going to try to watercolor my Altenew hydrangea or maybe my roses and see what happens. Happy 4th of July!
You can certainly enter the challenge without a blog, simply upload and link your photos from somewhere like Instagram or Flickr, even Splitcoast gallery works (I think). Hope you join!
Hi Therese…binged on a bunch of your videos yesterday. You make such gorgeous cards, but this one really caught my eye. You inspire me. Thanks
Such a lovely thing to say, Hugs Therese
15 is the wrong card, please remove! Thanks
