Less is More - Pastel

Busy weekend...tennis match today, then tomorrow a fun Mother's Day celebration with the family!

Time for another challenge over at Less is More!  This week's challenge is Pastel!  Most of my cards have bright colors, so this was a bit of a challenge.  I thought I would focus on a baby card, since I do need a few and it is perfect for pastel colors!

Come on over and show us what you come us with.  You have a chance to win a gift certificate from Happy Little Stampers!

Also it is our fellow design team member's birthday today....so stop on by and wish Anita a very happy birthday!!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANITA!!!

Here's my take on the challenge...





I stamped this image with Versafine Onyx Black ink.  I then used my Zig Real Brush Markers to watercolor the image.  Super fun!

I found the key to working with these brushes is the paper!  I used Strathmore Watercolor paper.  The makers seems to blend with water perfectly using this paper!
