Ugh! I have such a hard time positioning baubles! But I will keep trying, because it really adds a beautiful element. I finally got a decent watercolor background using the Altenew 24 pan watercolor set (I struggle with baubles and watercoloring, LOL). The beautiful Altenew Gilded Rose with the coordinating stencils is just stunning, and the sentiment is from Altenews In My Thoughts stamp set. The gold baubles are from Trinity Stamps called Gold Satin. I used the Hero Arts Infinity Rectangles to cut the watercolor background.

Make sure to enter for a chance at that great prize!

I'm really happy over the background, which I made using the 24 pan watercolor set from Altenew! I struggle with watercolors, but I was really thrilled that the watermelons from Simple Fruit Set by Altenew looked so good on it. Thank you Cindy Chiu for that set! I used Pink Flamingo Distress Oxide ink for the melon, took a Q-Tip dipped in water and erased the rind, then stamped. I added the rind using a Ranger emboss pen and green embossing powder (Hampton Art), and cut them out with the matching die set. The sentiment was also part of the set.

Now enter the challenge for that same set of watercolors I used-they are a $49.99 value!
