CTMH Technique Blog Hop - Wacky for Watercolor

Welcome to our Technique Blog Hop where we are "Wacky for Watercolor". Artists can incorporate watercolor into their artwork however they would like. It will be fun to see everyone's interpretation.

If you are coming from Tonya's Blog, you are on the right track. You can find a complete list of participants at the end of this post, if you were to get lost along the way.

Have you ever checked out our jewelry line called "Base & Bling"? It is totally fun and you can see how I used it to make a keychain - a great gift for this holiday season. And the design inside the square pendant? It is an image from our Base & Bling Watercolor Sheet - Clear.

Images are white embossed so I applied watercolor paints. When I did so the sentiment was exposed. Too fun, right?! The same is true for the Gold Watercolor Sheet.

In order to make this keychain, I used:

• Base &  Bling Watercolor Sheet - Clear
• Base & Bling Square Pendant - Faux Silver
• Base & Bling Square Class Covers
• Liquid Glass - Used to adhere the glass cover to the pendant

These are some of the fun watercolor techniques I taught at a class last month. I love the versatility of our products, including watercolor, and how they create different effects you can incorporate to your artwork. 

Please head over to Wendy's Blog to see how she is "Wacky for Watercolor". We appreciate you joining us and have a wonderful weekend!

Happy hoppin'!

Heart 2 Heart - Hip To Be Square

Welcome to this week’s Heart 2 Heart Challenge, “Hip To Be Square”, where you are invited to create artwork aligned with that theme, that incorporates Close To My Heart products.

I love the simplicity of this card as I used 1” squares from our Base & Bling Watercolor Sheet - Gold. I used our Watercolor Paints to apply ink, with the gold embossing image and sentiment resisted the paint. A strip of Gold Glitter paper was added. I see some more fabulous potential for these li’l squares beyond Base & Bling.

Consider linking up to us this week at Heart 2 Heart as we gear up to welcome in September. How crazy is that?!

Have a blessed week!
