<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As soon as I saw the mood board the first thing that hit my mind was 'mermaids'. The color is so apt for the theme. I have this <i>'Mermaid Stamp from Mudra' </i>for a long time and hence I decided to use it and apply no line water coloring technique to it. I was so inspired by <i>Sindhu_Trapped in craft's</i> no-line coloring and just felt like trying it again. You like it?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started by stamping the image with <i>Antique Linen Distress ink,</i> created the scene with water colors. I used <i>Distress inks - Peacock Feathers, Lucky Clover and Vintage Photo </i>as my watercolors. I kept on adding the colors until I'm satisfied with the look.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
I used <i>Brustro Hot pressed Water color Paper</i>. Once the watercolor is dry I went ahead and added <i>Ranger Crystal Stickles</i> and highlighted the image with <i>Sakura White Gel Pen</i>. Finally finished the card with a sentiment from the same stamp set.<br />
<br />
I hope you liked the card and I hope you guys would play along. Thank you so much for visiting, take care and I'll see you next time :)<br />

I simply water colored the background with grey color. I die-cut the thinlit die with <i>Sizzix SideKick Machine</i> in purple and yellow card stocks. Adhered over the water colored front panel, added splatters of black ink and finished the card with the sentiment from <i>Mudra</i>.</div>

What she thinks about the mood board..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>" The color palette and the mood board is so dreamy that I wanted to capture that softness so I decided to create the background with watercolors. The macaroons in the mood board inspired the freehand circles. I heat embossed the sentiment in yellow and added tiny stamped foliage as accents. Of course, the grey splatters in the background complete the card."</i></div>

Hello my dear crafty friends! Welcome back! Today we have another lovely guest designer joining us today with her beautiful water color card. Whenever I see her work, I feel very proud. And she is<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/quill_ish/" target="_blank">Ishani @ Quillish </a></b></span></div>
<br />
<i>Hello everyone,</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I am Ishani also known as <a href="https://www.instagram.com/quill_ish/" target="_blank"><b>Quillish</b></a> and am so glad to be here to share my card with you. Thank you Deepti for inviting me, it's an honour. I have been a part of the Indian Air Force till this June and now a happy stay-at-home-mom to my toddler. I have had a crafty gene but it was dormant till two years back. Quilling opened this new world of cardmaking to me and now I feel blessed to be a part of such a loving community.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I love coloring, building scenes and love to learn and experiment new techniques but I think I’m slightly bent towards CAS style of card making. This month we get to play with water colours for the <b><a href="http://catchychallenges.blogspot.com/2018/08/august-challenge-watercolor.html" target="_blank">August - Watercolour challenge</a></b>. I am quite a newbie to the different mediums of colouring and I feel that rather than getting wooed by the cool products we must get better in understanding the mediums we have at hand. I think one of the products one usually buys when they start this hobby, is distress inks. I don't have many but I used the ones I had to create this card.</i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>Do you know that Hydrangea is a flower that changes colour depending on the soils pH level. So my distress inks decided my soil to be slightly acidic and my flower turned into a mix of blue and pink. I went for a One layer card, did some masking for the leaves to go behind the flowers and then coloured each petal a little differently.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>To colour a flower, I usually google the real flower. The color and the shadows play a very important role and water colours are so good at giving a natural movement to the pigment and achieve the stunning effects. I went with the lightest shade and got some variations as I coloured. </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>I hope you like my card. I am not a pro at watercolouring, but you'll get better only if you try. I believe in - Doing what scares you, until it doesn't! So, get your brushes out and play along. </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>Happy creating something catchy!</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
That was a very beautiful card. Thank you so much, Ishani for sharing your talent with us. Please don't forget to play along with the <b><a href="http://catchychallenges.blogspot.com/2018/08/august-challenge-watercolor.html" target="_blank">Water Color Challenge,</a></b> guys! :)</div>

Hello everyone! Sindhu here. I'm so happy to be Guest Designing for the current <b><u><a href="http://catchychallenges.blogspot.com/2018/08/august-challenge-watercolor.html" target="_blank">Water Color Challenge</a></u></b>. Thank you so much for inviting me over, Deepti.<br />
<br />
<i>Now, a little bit about me. I'm a Stay-At-Home-Mom to our 3 year old son who constantly keeps me on my toes. I have been paper crafting for over 6 years and I’m totally addicted to card making. I am a Clean and Simple (CAS) lover but also like make layered and interactive cards. I also like reading fiction when I find time. </i><br />

<br />
For my card, I started by painting some circles on the background. I used my Zig markers and water for the purpose. The images were also water coloured using Zig markers. I fussy cut out the images, adhered them on the water coloured background, added the sentiment strip and some clear sparkle sequins. Mounted the panel on the card base to finish the card.<br />

I started by <i>water coloring the galaxy background </i>with <i>Koi Water Colors</i> and painted the ground as well. Also added splatters of white paint and let the panel dry completely.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Meanwhile, I stamped the animals from <i><a href="https://www.amusestudio.com/collections/stamps/products/forest-friends" target="_blank">Forest Friends by a.muse studio</a></i>, water colored and fuzzy cut them as well.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Finally stamped the sentiment from <i>Hello Baby by crafTangles</i> on a white card stock and made the fish tail banner and adhered over the card front. Finally adhered everything together with <i>Tacky Glue</i>.<br />
<br />
I hope you like it. Thank you so much for visiting and I hope you would play along. Come back again on 5th of August for more inspiration from our Guest Designer. ;)<br />

Hello everyone! Today we have another beautiful lovely guest designer,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><a href="https://craftyflirtations.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Neha</a></u></b></div>
<br />
Hello! I am <i><a href="https://craftyflirtations.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Dr. Neha Sanwalka Rungta</a></i> from Mumbai. I am a statistician by profession, have a PhD in Health Science and Dietitian by qualification. I have been crafting since a very young age and dabble in various art forms. My current obsession is mixed media art & creating Art Journals.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was very exciting to create cards inspired by Scandinavian patterns and designs. There was so much to explore that I ended up creating 5 different projects. For 2 projects, I used stamping to create leafy card panels inspired by Scandinavian patterns and converted these card panels to greeting card (red leafy) & note cards (green leafy). When exploring Scandinavian patterns, I also came across many colouring pages which would make for great cards. Hence, I downloaded 3 such pages, sized them using Microsoft word and printed them on 300 gsm cardstock. I then coloured the images using various colouring mediums and used the coloured images to make cards.</div>

Hello everyone! Welcome back! Today we have a guest designer, one of our <b><u><a href="http://catchychallenges.blogspot.com/2018/06/winners-lets-get-pinspired-4.html" target="_blank">previous challenge</a></u></b> winners, a beautiful crafter..<br />

I am <b><u><a href="https://www.facebook.com/anila.dikay" target="_blank">Anila Dikay</a></u></b> from <b><u><a href="https://novelideas-gifts.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Novel-Ideas</a></u></b>. An Interior Designer by profession, I shifted to teaching Craft and now a full-time Crafter and a SAHM. I love making cards and all kinds of Paper Crafts. Hope to inspire you to play along with the <b><u><a href="http://catchychallenges.blogspot.com/2018/07/scandinavian-pattern-challenge.html" target="_blank">current challenge - Scandinavian Pattern</a></u></b>.<br />
<br />
I found these two images from Google and decided to build my cards around these. I created these two patterns using <b><u>Stamps/Stencil and distress inks</u></b> and later converted them into finished cards.<br />

Hi everyone! I hope you are enjoying our <u><a href="http://catchychallenges.blogspot.com/2018/07/scandinavian-pattern-challenge.html" target="_blank">Scandinavian Pattern Challenge</a></u> so far. Today, I have a very special guest, the girl who has nice, good and clever crafting skills, one of my favourite crafters,<br />
<br />

Hello creative people! This is <a href="http://thecraftyangels.com/" target="_blank">Angela Jose</a> from <a href="http://thecraftyangels.com/" target="_blank">The Crafty Angels</a>. First of all, a huge thanks to Deepti for inviting me to create something catchy, a challenge that shaped my card making game from the very beginning when I could hardly differentiate between stamps, inks and papers! <br />
<br />
So starting off, the theme for this month’s catchy challenge is “<u><a href="http://catchychallenges.blogspot.com/2018/07/scandinavian-pattern-challenge.html" target="_blank">Scandinavian Pattern</a></u>” and that is a theme I absolutely love.<br />
<br />
<u>What is Scandinavian Design?</u><br />
Scandinavian design stands for simplicity, minimalism and functionality – something easy to incorporate and something we all want after-all.<br />
<br />
I made two cards on Scandinavian theme and I absolutely loved making them. Minimalist and functional cards have always been my favourite.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first card is a cliche Scandinavian style card – patterns with greys. The different shades of greys with hints of gold/copper have always been a statement Scandinavian style. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
I used the background stamp “tiny hearts” from my favourite things and hero arts ink in the shade “soft granite” from hero arts, on fabriano cardstock in the shade “bianco”.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div>
I die cut the word “hello” from MFT’s “hello & thanks” dies , stacked it together for a 3D finish and topped it with a gold shade die cut. That's it. A pretty card to break the ice between long lost friends and surprise them.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The reason I started card making on the first hand is I loved our childhood Christmas time when we used to carefully choose Christmas cards from the church, and I want to revive those memories in this digital age. Handwritten messages and handmade cards are the best way to be closer even when you are away. </div>

I was very much inspired by the textile pattern and foxes and background color. I simply stamped all the images from <b>Forest Friends</b> by <b>A-Muse Studio</b> with <b>Catherine Pooler Midnight Ink</b>,which is alcohol friendly. Then I colored all the foxes with <b>Sizzix Permanent Markers</b>. Next fussy cut it and adhered over the smaller panel. Finally finished the card with a sentiment strip from the same set. :)</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
As you all know Blue is my favorite color and I am inspired by the 4th block with a flower, colors, the pattern in next block and summery colors from the last one. I got my creative juices flowing! One of my favorite technique is to work with dies and bold text.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The challenge is</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can obviously create anything inspired by galaxy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm here with a simple <i>galaxy background card and a video tutorial</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this easy galaxy background, the main things you will need - a black card stock, water color paints, a sponge and paint brushes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, sponge the card stock with white paint, then blue ( you can use any color or multiple layers of colors) and then go again with white! </div>
