Denise gave us a gorgeous photograph from Pinterest for our inspiration. I got out my watercolors to do the bg. I stamped the leaf veins and stem and came back with the corresponding base stamp using VM and clear EP. I added further color to help define the leaf with distress inks and a sponge dauber. Lastly, I spritzed with "Goosebumps"...which, of course, doesn't show up in my photograph.

Absolutely gorgeous, Sallie, your watercoloring picked up the essence and color scheme of the photo beautifully...reminds me of your lovely avatar photo too!

This is absolutely unbelievable. I studied it a long time. The colors are so well chosen and blended. The Goosebumps was very clever. So beautiful. Into my favs.
