Live In Color - Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #551 Hobbies

Hello Monday!

Hope you had a nice weekend.  The Hubs (rarely off for an entire weekend) and I did absolutely NOTHING but relax at home all weekend.  It was so nice and we didn't feel guilty one bit.  Well, maybe felt a little guilty but it was fleeting. LOL. Today however is back to the grind of responsibilities.    

And one of those responsibilities is announcing the new challenge at Cupcake Inspirations this morning. 

The new challenge is Hobbies.  Create a project showcasing a hobby, which if you're here and playing, obviously card making is your hobby.  So, it's create a project of a hobby within your hobby!  LOL

I chose art/painting and created my own watercolor background.  The paint palette, paints and brush stamps/dies are by Sunny Studio and was perfect for this challenge.  I stamped them in Catherine Pooler Inks to match my background colors.  I also applied some Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the paints to give them a "wet" appearance.  The sentiment is from Sugar Pea Designs "Color of Life" set.  The colored stitched layer was ink to paper with Fiesta Blue ink.

Please stop by the Cupcake Inspirations blog and see the rest of the inspiration created by my fellow Designers.  Then come play along with us and share your hobby within a hobby.

I am also entering the challenge at Time Out Challenges, which is Create Your Own Background.
