Crafty Friends - July Edition

Hey peeps!

Happy Monday! This is my vacation week, but sadly, no vacation, because - 2020. So I will be staycationing, and trying to get some projects done. 

This weekend, in addition to replacing my desk with a standing desk, I got a little watercoloring in. 

I took this gorgeous hydrangea and stamped it in Fadeout on extra white watercolor paper. Then I cut it with the matching dies and I thought a strip of black would really make it pop! I finished it with the sentiment from this set and these sequins.

Then I colored it with just four Karin Markers - scribbling them on my craft mat and applying them with a waterbrush. (My coupon code for 15% off these amazing watercolor markers is in the footer of my post. Also my Arteza coupon code is good for 11 more days.)

It was such a fun break from crawling around on the floor labeling and zip tying computer cords after we got my desk set up. Man does that make every muscle you have sore!
