Weekly Challenge | Watercolored Backgrounds

This week, our member Christin (username christin.gronnslett), is challenging you to grab out those watercolors and create a unique background! We love all of the paint splatters and texture she added to her page! Our members are so talented and we love seeing your work in the gallery! Check back each week as we ask one of our members to inspire you with a challenge based on one of their projects from our member gallery. Be sure visit Christin to see more of her work and keep up with her!

Christin saying hi from Norway. When I create I don’t like mixing too many colors, but keep one main color and let the other colors pop here and there. The same goes for my faux watercolor backgrounds. They are actually made with drops of Mr Huey’s mists on ordinary White Bazzill (that I just prepped with clear gesso) The Crate Paper paper with the word Seven from the Tulip Scrapbook Add-on was used as a base for the layout and I including that in my title, very practical! Doesn’t my 7 year old look pretty tough ?? My challenge to you is to mix a watercolor background with small + large letters in your title.

Now it’s your turn to create a project based on Christin's challenge! Share your new project for the challenge in the SC gallery (add the hashtag #SCchallenge to make it easier to find!), then link up your project in the comments of this post by April 27th and to be entered to win a $5 gift card to the Studio Calico Shop! This week's challenge winner will be announced in the May 2nd Layout of the Week post.

    I don't see the paper with that seven in the tulip add on - what is the name of the paper? I love this page!!! (I found it - it's in the Maggie Holmes confetti line).
