Hi! Today I'm joining along with the PTI "Transformation Tuesday" challenge. This challenge is to take a card which you’ve made in the past and transform it in some way. Here's my original card which I made March 22, 2017 and may be seen here:

Here's my new interpretation / transformation:

This time around, I opted for a softer pastel look featuring watercoloring. I combined pretty flowers from the PTI Vintage Linens set with the thanks sentiment from the PTI Wet Paint Cuts die collection along with a beautiful flourish from the PTI Fanciful Flourishes stamp set:

For color inspiration, I'm joining along with the Color Throwdown color challenge:

Up next is an 8" x 10" oil painting featuring a garden scene that was inspired by Ginger Cook. I'm entering this painting in the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge~Day 27:

I'm also joining along with the Paint Party Friday site:

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Be Sweet ;)
