Hey Crafty Friends!! Today my inspiration for this card is color, specifically Berry Burst, Crumb Cake and Night of Navy.  This color challenge is hosted on the TGIF Challenge Blog (#TGIFC489) and Facebook page.  It has been a minute since I did some color blocking on my cards.  This card was lots of fun to create and it is one of my favorite this year.  Hoep you find some inspiration here.

    2. Ink up C Block and apply ink directly to watercolor paper from block. Gently brush over with waterecolor brush. 

    3. Use damp brush and ink to add splatters.  Let dry for 10 minutes.
