Several challenges caught my attention today. It all started with a color palette and the word prompts gave me all the ideas.
This is what I pulled out: a critter stamp, a butterfly stamp, a watercolored background that was left over from a project long ago and my GT watercolors. I really like to use watercolors, as they can be used opaque or transparent.
I cut the background to size, then, instaed of matting it just edged it with black ink. I stamped the butterflies, colored a few of them in and fussy cut them. Then I stamped the critter and the net and colored them in, too. I mounted the critter with a foam strip and arranged the butterflies around him. The sentiment reads: Hi, how are you doing?
Entering this in these wonderful challenges:
Color Dare: #715 palette - for neutrals I used black and brown
Simon Says Wednesday: Summertime blues
As You Like It: Favorite coloring medium - and why Mine is GT watercolors, they go on from transparent to opaque
Avenue 613: AG/ optional twist Playtime - I am playing with this option
Creative Friday: #418 Querformat / Landscape format
Critter Crazy: #113 AG
Daisy Chain Challenge: #110 Animals
PIP: #2632 AG
