It's been a long time, but I finally got a chance today to create a card using Kristina Werner's weekly Color Inspiration challenge. I look at her challenge every week, love the color choices, save it as unread in my Google reader so I don't forget, and then run out of time every week! I really like this Autumn-ish color combo today, so nothing was going to stand in the way of getting it done this time!
This card is completely different from what I set out to do, but I really love the totally Autumn feel this has. I used my Niji waterbrush and ink from the lids of my SU! pads to watercolor my image. I was attempting to watercolor as beautifully as Leslie Miller, but I think I fell a little short!
Anyway, I hope you like it! Forgive me for the double-post today... I'm trying to make up for lost time last week! LOL
THANK YOU for stopping by! I always appreciate your visits! Happy stamping!
Stamps: sunflower pot (Great Impressions), sentiment (Stampin' Up!)
Cardstock: Bravo Burgundy, Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie (Stampin' Up!), watercolor paper (craft supply).
Inks: Jet Black Staz-On (Tsukineko), Old Olive (Stampin' Up!)
Accessories: Nestabilities (Spellbinders), ribbon (craft supply), piercing tool.
this is a beautiful card:) love the cb background and your coloring!

I agree- this is very 'Autumny'- is that a word :D ? You did a great job with your watercoloring too.
