Watercolor Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the third Pretty Pink Posh Blog Hop. I am so thrilled you have stopped by and I hope that you’ll participate- whether it’s by creating project, leaving comments or a little of both. Before I get to all the details, I want to say a giant thank you to the amazing sponsors, special guests and design team members. It’s a TON of work to put events like this together, but your excitement, feedback and encouragement makes all of the effort worth it and I hope that you leave with tons of inspiration.

Date: The blog hop starts TODAY, Friday, June 5, 2015 at 6AM, PST and will run until Monday, June 8, 2015 at 11:55 PM, PST.

Who: We want EVERYONE to be involved. If you enjoy watercolors, this is your time to let your work shine! Don’t have a blog yet? This is a great time to start one OR you can just hop along and be inspired!

Prizes: There will be ALL sorts of prizes…whether you’re entering creations into the hop, or hopping along and leaving comments on the stop, there will be prizes for BOTH!

What kind of prizes will there be? There’s TONS of gift certificates and there are also prize packs! When I announce the winners, I’ll detail every prize from the sponsors, but let me just say that EVERY SINGLE prize is wonderful.

More Prizes?

If we can get 100 entries, I’ll donate a $20 gift certificate to Ellen Hutson or Simon Says Stamp. 200 entries? I’ll donate another! For every 100 entries (up to 500) I’ll throw in an extra $20 gift certificate!

I hope you all will be able to participate one way or another, whether that means by creating something or leaving comments!

  4. What gorgeous watercolour creations! I love watercolour! I’m not very good at it, but I love it! Just linked up my card and hope I have time to join again. Thanks for all your hard work in putting together this amazing hop!

  6. Love the look of watercolor. I am hoping
    this will be an inspiration to get me
    to try it.

  7. I haven’t made a card yet, but I do have a plan… I just need to finish a huge pile of work before I can play :(

  10. Hi Paulina! I’m confused – what if I don’t have a blog and want to submit my work? Do you just comment on each blog to win prizes?

    1. If you want to upload your card to a gallery (like Splitcoaststampers or Flickr), you can. From there, you would just need to link up and provide the direct link to your project. Also, YES, for those who don’t submit, they can still win prizes by leaving comments along the hop!

  12. Love blog hops and this one
    has so many beautiful creations
    displayed! Thanks for the fun
    hop and all the giveaways!

  14. Paulina, I just want to thank you for organizing this blog hop! I am sure, as you say, that it does take a lot of work, but it provides such great inspiration. Thank you also for letting the “rest of us” participate. I look forward to uploading my own projects to the hop! I love watercoloring, and hope this is one trend that sticks around for a good long while! ~ Andrea

    I have sooooo been looking forward to this. Unfortunately my computer’s fan broke so I can only use it if I am near an external fan or it overheats. Blah!. Then on Friday I woke up real sick. I spent the day in bed Saturday trying to sleep it off. I’ll try to comment as much as I can. I’m working on my entries today.
    Crafty hugs,
