Prettie Wednesday - Striped

Two weeks ago, Jillian issued our Prettie Girl challenge. The challenge was to use stripes in your design. I wanted to work with this super cute paper and luscious ribbon is Noteworthy from Making Memories.

I stamped the famous "headless chick" from MFT on watercolor paper with my Pearlescent Chocolate Brilliance pad and then I watercolored with my watercolor crayons and an aquapainter.

Since the "In Colors" from Stampin Up don't come in the watercolor crayons, I had to get a little creative with the mixing to get the right shade. I blended Tempting Turquoise with Sage Shadow and was very happy with the results.

If you're wondering how I already have this MFT stamp "Ride Em Cowgirl" since it is being released tonight from My Favorite Things .... this is the Paper Pretties My Favorite Things stamp of the Month for February!! I had so much fun with this card which is making its way up to Julie Masse in the mail.

Today's challenge will be posted by Christie!! Be sure to pop on over to visit all the Prettie Girls (see blog links on the right) to see everyone's stripey creations.

Paper Pretties next release is scheduled for Sunday, March 9th at 8pm EST we'll also be having our monthly Pretties Pajama Party! The Pretties Pajama Party is like a mini Virtual Stamp Night that lasts 3 hours.
