Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge - MTSC85 and There She Goes Challenge TSG66

Hello and happy Tuesday my friends. Before I get to my card today I thought I would post a few more pics from CHA this past weekend.

Today I have combined my card for two challenges. First it's for Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge MTSC85 and second it's for Monday's challenge at There She Goes TSG66. I used the new set The Journey from There She Goes. This week’s challenge from There She Goes is brought to us by our Trendsetter of the Week, Mercy! For this challenge you will need to pull out your paint brushes, aqua brushes, or blending stumps along with some ink pads, watercolor pencils, or distress inks…we’re going to WATERCOLOR! You may have a different way to watercolor other than the ones that I’ve listed, but as long as you watercolor you’ll be just fine. I know it’s hard to drop the Copic Markers, but let’s go back to coloring basics! Here is my card along with a pic of Mercy's sketch.

To be eligible for the giveaway, you are to create a card that incorporates watercoloring, and then come back to the TSG Blog to add your name and a link to your project in the Inlinkz that is located at the bottom of this challenge post. This challenge is open until the winner has been announced on the following Monday (August 9th). The winner will get a $5 gift certificate to use in the TSG Web store!

By participating in this challenge, you may also find yourself in the Trendsetting Spotlight that shines on the TSG Blog every Thursday. We will be on the look out to find challenge cards that stand out and show Trendsetting qualities. TSG stamps are not required to participate in the challenges but are appreciated :)

You do not need to have a blog to be able to participate in the TSG Challenges! You can simply add the URL link from your project after it has been uploaded to your online craft gallery. If you upload your card to an online craft gallery, please use the keyword TSG66 so we can check out your beautiful work!
