Do you sometimes just need a little pop of color in your life? A watercolor wash is the perfect way to do just that! Today is Monday and I have another Mojo Monday Challenge card for you. I kept it simple and let the color be the star here without adding too much. Here’s the original sketch and my interpretation:

Creative Tips –
- Choose colors that work with each other. If you’re unsure of what to choose, get yourself a little color wheel like the one here. The colors you see here are a Tetrad group – two sets of complimentary colors. I knew the Magenta would blend into violet, so I chose that as a better blend then straight violet.
- The colors used are Schminke Hordam Aquarell Yellow Lemon, Translucent Orange, Paris Blue and for the yellow – Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Yellow Cardstock.
- The colors are the star, so the remainder of the card is kept really neutral – Basic Black and Whisper White.
- Stamp your greeting in a bold color like Pacific Point here.
- I don’t own a smaller set of circle framelits for that perfect border…yes, I know – what?!! On my list (which is quite long, for some reason it keeps getting bumped…lol).
- For an accent – try something simple like paper piercing. Keep it balanced.
- Pop up various elements like your greeting and card front to give your project dimension.
