Papertrey 2016 Anniversary Day One

Hello! I am so excited about the Papertrey 9th anniversary festivities over on Nicole's blog! Today is Day One, and Nicole shared that there will be no changes in the  PTI design team this year! Yeah! All the uber-talented ladies will be back! That's great news as far as I am concerned, because I think they ROCK the stamping community! 
Each Design Team member shared their favorite card from 2015 and the color combo they used on it. The day one challenge is to pick one of the color combos and create a card using it. It was hard to choose one - they are all so beautiful! I ended up with Lizzie's color combo:
 This is my attempt to use this color combo and practice my watercoloring skills. I just finished taking the Online Card Class for Intermediate Watercolor Techniques and have a lot of practicing to do! I used the Friendship Jars Spring Fillers stamp set.
I "smooshed" Aqua Mist and Hawaiian Shores on the background, then heat embossed the tulips in white, then used Berry Sorbet, Summer Sunrise and Limeade Ice reinkers to watercolor the tulips. The card front is mounted on a Hawaiian Shores card base. Love this color combo - it's so happy!
Enjoy the anniversary festivities and thanks for stopping by!
