Come on over to the JUGS blog to see the beautiful watercolor backgrounds created by our Guest Designer - Julia Aston and the rest of the Design Team.
A friend asked me to make a sympathy card for someone who just lost their beloved cat and this is the best cat image I could come up with. I colored the cat to try to match what the cat looked like in life. Distress Inks were used on the background and then the leafy branched were added by using a stencil. After sponging some green ink through the stencil, I added some brown to the branches and some darker green to the leaves with Prismacolor pencils. I didn't have a color I liked for a base, so I swiped some Distress Ink around the outside edge of a white base and on a strip for the sentiment and the circle for a better match.
Now it's your turn to create a watercolor background and play along with us at JUGS. You could be chosen as our next Chic of the Week, which would then make you eligible for a chance to become our next Guest Designer! Please limit your entries to 3.

So sorry to hear about the loss of a furry friend, but it's so nice that you made this card! It's very soothing to see and I'm sure it will be a treasure to the recipient. Losing a furry friend is always so hard!!! Great card!
I'm sure this sweet cat card will cheer your friend, Sue - it's SO hard when we lose our pets! A lovely watercolored background - your black stem stamping really pops off the greens!
Super watercolour background Sue. I think your cute smiling cat will help ease the pain of loosing a loved pet.
The green is fabulous. Your little added kitty is a fun touch
The background looks fabulous, Sue, and the little cat is so cute. I'm sure it will help heal the heart of the recipient.
Awww...you've designed a pretty, soft sympathy card, that I know will touch the heart of the person receiving it...I know it's touched mine.
