Bonnie is hosting this month's challenge and she would like to see you use COOL COLORS on your CAS water color cards. If you're wondering what colors are considered cool, take a look:
And here's what I came up using some of those colors and a Serendipity Stamp (540HUM Sled)...
I stamped my image in black ink and then embossed with clear before water coloring with Distress Inks. (Weather Wood, Faded Jeans, Stormy Sky, Dusty Concord, & Peeled Paint) I did use a touch of Sahara Sand ink to color the sled, even though I know it's not a cool color...I just couldn't bring myself to make the sled blue, green, or purple! I used a Spellbinders oval die to make a frame for my piece, and then added a popped up sentiment banner using Altenew's Best Sentiments.
This challenge is open till the 24th, so check it all out HERE and play along...we'd love to see YOU in the gallery!!
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

What a sweet and peaceful scene!! I remember sleds like that. We used to go to the Golf Course because they had the BEST sliding hills!! I grew up in the "snow belt" in upstate New York and our sleds got a LOT of use!! : )
Warm (((Hugs)))

Fantastic winter's scene. The oval does frame it nicely.
So very beautiful! Cool GRAY would have been perfect for your wonderful little sled, Marcia! OH the memories I have sledding down the dunes of Pere Marquette!

Gorgeous watercoloring on that sled scene, Marcia!! Just love the pop of green!!
I like how peaceful this is Marcia! Your soft colors are wonderful. What a pretty pretty card!!
What a wonderfully coloured, soft, subtle scene, Marcia ... looks as though that sled is just waiting to be jumped on! Hugs, Anita :)
I LOVE how you've watercoloured this image, Marcia! I have this stamp but have not made a card yet. You've inspired me to pull it out! The colours are so calm and soothing. And I love the oval framing with the black sentiment banner. Everything works perfectly together. Great design, my friend! xx
I love this little winter scene, Marcia! The sled is perfect in a cool shade of tan! Beautifully colored! It needs to be framed! Such a lovely card, my friend!
I love that image, Marcia, and you did a fantastic job watercoloring it.
A lovely wintery watercolour, in the 'cool' colours Marcia, a fabulous card, hugs Robyn
I've always loved this Serendipity stamp, it's such a beautiful winter scene and you have watercoloured it perfectly :)
Oh, I do love that sled Marcia - AND how wonderfully you watercolored it! the oval framing is perfect for it and the sentiment looks great on the black! (oh, just realized I have that Altenew sentiment set, yay me!) xx

This is so beautiful! What a fabulous stamp and the colours you used give it such an atmospheric look!
This is so pretty my friend! I love it in the colors you used. Your water coloring is perfect and I love the nostalgic look of simpler days gone by.
This is a lovely stamp and a beautiful card. Love your water colouring done so softly.
Such a beautiful and peaceful winter scene you created, Marcia! I love your watercoloring, especially with all those muted soft shades. Adding a bit of Sahara Sand turned out so well. It looks so natural and just fits with other cool colors. I do love this card!!
