My friends and I have started a monthly Instagram hop where we share projects base around a theme using OLD and LOVED projects from our collections. You can make cute things using what you have.

Our theme this month is Pretty Pastel.

When I think of pastel, I think watercolor. I pulled out the 'Good Greetings' stamp set and heat set the large greeting with white embossing powder. This greeting is so pretty. Then, I water-painted a peachy color over the top for a soft & airy look. For the flowers, I painted a few pink and peach multi-color washes and then punched out using various flower punches. The flower centers are iridescent rhinestones.

Stampin' Up! products you can still purchase:
Basic White cardstock, Fluid 100 watercolor
Ink colors: Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink and Cloud Cover

I can't wait to see what my friends pulled out from their stashes for this challenge. UYS is a monthly Instagram hop where my friends and I get crafty and use what we have on hand to create a project around a certain theme. Use those supplies! Follow along on instagram below.

Look at this pretty card! I'm really please with how it turned out. This card was created for this week's TGIF technique challenge. I love the emboss resist technique. It's so easy to do and creates fabulous looking results every time.

For this card I stamped the flower background from Wood Words in Versamark repeatedly in opposing corners of a layered Whisper White card stock. Then I heat embossed the stamped image with White Embossing powder. I painted in colors using an Aqua painter. I'm all about Flirty Flamingo and Powder Pink lately.

Check out what the design team created over on the TGIF Challenge blog. As usual, the projects are stunning and really inspiring to me. Thanks for stopping by. Supplies listed below.
