Playing around with water again today. This time I wetted the whole piece of CS with a brush and water. Stamped the leaves with Mellow Moss ink and let them "bleed" a little. With pastels, I colored the leaves and background in while the CS was still wet. Then re-stamped the leaves, without a stamp-ma-jig (maybe I should pick one of those up?)(Naaahhhhhh...) Did same thing with butterfly. After everything was dry, I did the Thank You and sealed with hairspray. I do have Fixative, but like hairspray better. (shrug)

That is just gorgeous! I love the shading in the background. I love how the leaves look without a stamp-ma-jig. I love the colors you chose!
