The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge


The challenge at The Sisterhood of Crafters is to use your favorite color.  For me, my favorite color is pink!

I used the Altenew Peony Bouquet stamp set and the sentiment is from the Altenew Smile More stamp set.  I inked the stamps from the Peony Bouquet set using distress inks and then spritzing with water before stamping onto watercolor paper.  I used a waterbrush to help spread the ink around the stamped image.  Once dry, I stamped the sentiment using Archival Black ink.  Embellishments are small pink nail art gems.

We hope you'll share your crafty creations with us using your favorite color.  You can find The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge HERE.

Eating the most delicious grubs
One jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool
Then there were four green speckled frogs.

For my card I used Heartfelt Creations Winking Frog Collection stamps, dies, and paper.
