Waffleflower March 2021 Week 3 Challenge 'Watercolor Florals'

 I am delighted to be joining Waffleflower Design Team member, Jeanne,  and Guest Designer, Karen, in creating for Waffleflower's new weekly challenge! The WEEK 3 challenge focuses on watercolored florals.... which makes me SO very happy, as we are finally begin to see signs of spring in Western NY (I heard the birds chirping this morning)!! 

The newest Waffle Flower Challenge begins on Friday, 3/19/21, and runs through Thursday, 3/25/21! For this week's challenge,  Jeanne, Karen and I will be sharing our creations on 3 platforms: Blog, Instagram (#wfc2103w3) and Facebook! Check out the details below:


THE CHALLENGE: to use watercolored florals in your projects!


THREE WAYS TO ENTER the challenge:



Hoping that you'll join in the challenge FUN!! There are A-MAZING rewards!



My take on the  watercolored florals challenge includes an array of pretty posies (it seems that SPRING is finally in the air!!).  I took my CAS card one step further by creating a hand painted plaid background in a soft aqua/teal. The spring-hued blooms and greenery are stamped/embossed in white and watercolored with Distress inks. After a bit of quick fussy cutting, I added a few finishing touches……the pretty enamel dots, stitched rectangle frame and a beautiful ‘Oh happy day’ sentiment. 






Please join in!! There are bound to be many lovelies in the Waffleflower Week 3 Challenge gallery (and a plethora of springtime inspiration). We can't wait to see what YOU will create..... it's sure to be a watercolored masterpiece!
