For my inspiration, I choose my "Papertrey Love" board. This is my inspiration card, and here is my card:
One trend I’ve seen lately is watercolor. I love watercolor! To me, it's subtle, even tranquil (I look for peace and quiet anywhere I can find it these days…lol). More on that in another post.
Now, if you don't have a Pinterest account, what are you waiting for? It's fun and it's free. It really is inspiring. I should warn you, it's also very time consuming! No, I don't work for Pinterest, I promise! I've provided a link to get started, if you're interested. If you don't have/or don't want a Pinterest account, please don't let that stop you from playing along this week. Find your own inspiration from wherever you wish.
Finally, I have to show you this beautiful watercolor card I found, and it's creator is our very own, Karen Dunbrook! Isn't this a beauty?
OLW 127 Guidelines:
1. A one-layer card is defined as a single layer of card stock folded in half. No other layers of card stock allowed!
2. Make a card inspired by one of your own Pinterest boards. Please show us your inspiration and remember to keep embellishments to a minimum!
3. Upload your card somewhere online and link it using the InLinkz button on the bottom of this post. If you link to your blog, please make sure the link goes to the individual post, not to your blog's home page.
4.HAVE FUN! That's really what it's all about.

ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl,
ReplyDeleteI love your card - so soft and dreamy looking with the watercolored roses. I do love Pinterest and wish I had more time to 'pin' stuff.
I forgot to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteLovely soft colours and such a gentle, calm effect from the watercolouring! Pinterest ... would love to, just have to find another couple of hours in each 24! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteWow, this is just beautiful!! Lovely CAS card and the flowers are so sweet - they just pop! Sweetness!!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, this is gorgeous!! Love those flowers.
ReplyDeleteToo fun! I also did a pin post on Sunday! I made like 3 different projects [far from one layer though], and I also CASE'd dawn's water color! Great minds think a like I guess :).
ReplyDeleteWonderful CASE and I hope to play. i have been so slacking with this challenge lately.
Oh no - thought this was THIS week's challenge! Well I might be too late to link up Cheryl but thank you for a fun challenge anyway and I love your watercolour roses.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous water colors making this a gorgeous cas card!
ReplyDeleteVery nice card Cheryl. Love the simplicity of it.
ReplyDeleteThis is the perfect challenge Cheryl ... so happy about it! I guess we all pin more than actually doing something about the inspiration we get. Love your watercolour card.
