<p>The fun has started! Studio Calico just kicked off <a href="http://www.studiocalico.typepad.com/">the NSD fun on their blog!</a></p>
<p>There are 9 total challenges with examples for Scrapbooking, Card, and Project Life for all of them! Check out <a href="http://www.studiocalico.typepad.com/">the blog post</a> for info on how to participate and how to win the grand $100 prize!</p>
<p>I took on <a href="http://studiocalico.typepad.com/studio_calico/2013/05/nsd-at-sc-2013-sb-team-challenge-1.html">the challenge of mixed media </a>and I made 3 different cards showcasing it on this PL spread!</p>

<p>Week 14 Card: I placed thickers on a blank 4x6 grid card and painted over with watercolor on a small brush - super easy and fun!&nbsp;</p>
<p>Excellence Card: To create the ombre effect I loaded up the water color  paint and applied it several times to the bottom of the card slowly  blending it up with more water. As I got to the top all that was on my  brush was water. Once it dried completely I printed over it with my  quote!</p>
<p>Love Lives Here Card: I painted a base of gesso over a printed PL card.  Once the gesso was semi-dry I applied some water color on top of that.  Once dry I layered it up with a cut file!</p>
<p>Now your turn to give it a try! It&#8217;s easy and fun I promise! I used the Artist&#8217;s Loft watercolor set from Michaels</p>
