Did you know Virginia Lu started her own challenge blog recently called Virginia's View Challenge? She commented in her regular blog, that was only expecting a small number of entries (maybe 20) but is now almost at 200! All I can say is YAY for Virginia! She is a super talented designer and a big sweetie ta boot, so it is really no wonder she has so many followers and entries.
I knew I wanted to play the moment I saw it, so I am here to throw in my entry. Virginia's current view is watercolor, check out this inspiration photo.
Here is what I made for the challenge using my new Papertrey Ink set Feather Finery. I embossed the feather in white and then embossed the polka dots and sentiments in gold. I then spritzed with my Moment Firecracker mists and used my watercolor pen to spread the color out. I finished my card off with some gold photo corners to make extra gold accents.
Virginia- thank you for being a continued inspiration and all around good person!
PS- I am Guest Designing on Newton's Nook Design this Month and the new release is in a few days come visit us!

I absolutely LOVE that gorgeous look, Virginia; I was telling Michelle (our other guest designer on Newton's Nook) that I have to get the guts up to try this beautiful technique!
Gorgeous card! I love the gold with the water colors! So lovely!
AW... your work and your personality really shine through in this amazing watercolor piece, Katie! I love the rich and vibrant mix of colors behind that gorgeous feather! I thank you for your super wonderful support! AWESOME blog friends/card makers like you make this challenge a success! Thank so much for linking up to Virginia's View Challenge! And congrats on the guest design over Newton's Nook!
Holy cow this is so amazing Katie, love the colours and the feather is gorgeous! Can't stop staring at it! Pinned!
Very pretty card!! Love the colors and the pops of gold.
Such an eye-catching card, Katie! Oh, how I wish I could master (even a smidgen) the water-colouring techniques, but unless I can 'stay in the lines' it just doesn't work for me! I do, however, LOVE the results of others talents - and yours here is top-notch! Sooo pretty!! I agree with Virginia - your positive, effervescent personality, paired with delightful cards, makes visiting here a "must." I come away smiling...always! Looking forward to seeing you at NN!!
