MACM - Merry & Bright + CI 28 Round-Up
Morning, all!This week's MACM doubles as my contribution to CI 28--even though I hardly used any Pumpkin Pie. I did squeeze it in there on the snowman's nose, but it a rather puny use of it don't you think? Forgive me, there just wasn't another place for it! LOL!
Yes, I struggle with the color combos as much as you guys. :)
Anyhow, I did quite a bit of watercoloring for this one. I don't mention it in the video, but I used watercolor paper. For those of you who are struggling with using a blender pen or watercoloring, you should really try it with watercolor paper. Because it can absorb more, it's much more forgiving and you can really build up color.
So, here are my top fifteen for the color challenge, and below that, is the video.
Enjoy!

I was able to see the video on your site using IE. No problem. Great snowman. Thanks for the great tip about using light blue to give dimension.
Thanks for making my day yesterday by including my card in the Top 15!
I love your top 15 posts just the little squares inspire me to participate I know it might be time consuming to do this but whenever you do I really check out the cards! Your blog has a lot to offer but this I think makes your color challenges really unique! Thanks
What?!?!!?!? No embossing??!?!? You always emboss!! LOL Just kidding. So cute!! You do a great job and I love to watch the video tutorials you do. Very creative person you are.
I love your videos and blog. It seems that every time I watch a video, I find something else that I think I have to buy. I just wish I had more time to play with all of it.
