#lightitupblue

I thought I would just do a quick video today of a watercolor project for Autism Awareness Day. My good friends Christine, Katherine and Michelle all have children with autism, and I love how people have rallied around the Light It Up Blue campaign today, so I thought I'd add to that in some small way.

I used my Brusho powdered watercolors, some Stampin' Up! watercolor paper (cold press), and a beautiful retired stamp set - Stipple Rose - I bought from my friend Holly last week - I've looked for this stamp forever and I love it. Thank you Holly!


Pin It

I left a sentiment off, because autism speaks :).

Here's the video if you have a few minutes. Pardon the ballcap - it's 80 degrees and sunny and I needed a stomp before arting.

Loveyameanitbye.

    I totally knew that was an ash tray! Man, they don't make them like that any more, do they.

    And as usual, I'm jealous of your water coloring skillz. Just sayin'.

    Love the striking colors in your card and watching you create. That ashtray you used as a brush holder is so wonderfully retro!
