New Challenge @ Shopping Our Stash #SOS510

 

Today begins a new challenge at...

Shopping Our Stash // #SOS520 ...A "shop your stash" challenge with a Splish Splash theme!!  Splish Splash??  Yes...we want to see what watercolor mediums you have in your stash or any water images.  This challenge was loads of fun for me and I think it will be for you too.

From my stash, I used watercolor paper and created a watercolor background by spraying my stamped images with a fine mist of water.  I also made watercolored circle embellishments to finish off my card.  

Now it is your turn...dig through your stash and see what treasures you find that fit our Splish Splash challenge.  Hop on over to our blog for all the details for this challenge and check out what the rest of the design team found in their stash.  They are sure to be an inspiration to you!!
