This week it's time for another colour challenge over at the Simply Less Is More Challenge Blog. Chrissie and Mandi have decided to ask us to make a card using the
COLOURS
of
OUR NATION'S FLAG!
I live in the USA, and our flag colors are Red, White and Blue. I always check the LIM challenge the first moment I can get on my computer each Saturday. I thought a lot about what I would do with this challenge, but I did not have time until this morning to do anything with my thoughts. Very early in the day today, I saw THIS post from Susan Raihala of Simplicity. Susan's work always moves me. I wish I could see things through her eyes. Susan used the Acrylic Block Stamping technique in her creation today - one I have never seen before. When I viewed Susan's creation with this technique, I immediately knew what I would do for the LIM challenge. My card is a CASE of Susan's, but it has it's own character. After trying this technique several times on white card stock, I decided I needed to use water color paper and I loved the results. I am so pleased with this creation. I really love it, and I know I will use this technique again and again. Thank you so much for coming to view!

This is so beautiful lovely card ;)
That's an amazing effect Stephanie, I have forgotten all about it after seeing Susan's card!
The patch of blue ink looks like the ocean with the bird flying over and the sentiment is just lovely :)

great card, love your background, it gives an amazing effect.
I really fancy trying this technique too. You've created a fabulous 'sky' for your peace dove. xx
Oh my goodness! What a lovely card! The background turned out beautifully and works perfectly with your sentiment. LOVE the colors, too!
I LOVE how that blue background came out, it is perfect for behind that bird. I'm gonna have to try that one.
Your card is beautifull. And that technique. I like it to. I've seen it somewere else but the way Susan is doing it with the twinkling H2O is also beautifull.
Super result. I've fancied having a go at this too, yours has come up fab! x
Just love this Stephanie, I think that random splodgy effect is simply tremendous!
Fabulous card.
Thanks so much

This is beautiful, Stephanie. I love the effect you've created. The red bird looks beautiful against that beautiful blue. I must give this technique a try, as well!
Stephanie, you totally rocked this challenge!! I love the effect of the watercolor....what a fabulous card!

You are the woman! What a beautiful splash of blue on water color paper! And your red bird - it goes so beautifully with the sentiment! You've inspired me - love that technique!
