Welcome to Day 3 of our 5 for 5 Blog Event! This month's event runs from March 16th until March 20th and is based on Easter.
Today's theme is "Watercolor". I created a card for today's project. I started with Ranger's Distress Watercolor Cardstock - card size and trimmed it to 4x4". This paper is AWESOME for watercolor and comes in 8.5 x 11" sheets and precut for cards. I used a stamp by Memory Box called Easter Egg Tree. I inked the stamp with Ranger's Archival Jet Black Ink and stamped onto the watercolor paper. I grabbed some Ranger's Distress Inks "Peeled Paint" and Tumbled Glass" and water-colored the background grass and sky. I then took some Ranger Distress Markers and colored in the eggs. Once dry, I colored in the eggs with clear glitter glue which made the eggs really pop! I added a sentiment and was done!
Here's a close up of the colored eggs ...
I am offering a prize and all you need to do is leave a comment on each of the 5 days of the hop to qualify. Here's a peek at my prize. I picked spring themed products including some lovely Studio Paints ...

Have to say that I didn't even know Ranger made watercolor paper and just love the texture too
Love this pretty creation! Beautiful watercoloring.
Trees are a favorite of mine and why not hang a few eggs on them ! This is such a happy little card!

Love this egg tree Lynn. Adding the glitter over the eggs is a brilliant idea.

Love the watercolor ideas... I just bought a set of them and I am anxious to start playing!
Awesome sky and grass on your pretty card! I think I have a tree stamp that is very similar... better go look for it!
Love how your watercolors turned out!
This is so lovely. And your prize is so generous! Thank you.
This card is so fun and what a great idea to hang those little sparkly eggs from the tree branches. I showed this to my 4 year old and she called it a magic tree!!
Love this card so much!! I'm going to go broke if I keep looking at all the cards on this hop. I NEED that tree yesterday - that is my kind of stamp.
I just love this card and this stamp...so beautiful!
