I picked SC #510....with a few minor changes. ; ) I keep a binder of the Sketch Challenges that I have done and each sheet also includes a picture of the card I created for that challenge......don't ask me why, it's the only challenge that I do this for. Since I wanted to watercolor this image, I was able to leaf through this binder and pick the layout that I thought was simple and let the image take center stage. The changes I made: due to the image's larger size, I centered it on the corrugated panel, left off the doodads(I never consider them part of the sketch anyway.....window dressing)
I also altered the stamp: The TT image had cute, polka-dot rainboots. I wanted them to more resemble my gardening Wellies, so I removed the dots and revamped the boot design where the polka dots were.

OMG Sallie, this so beautiful! I agree with Susie, it looks like a prize watercolor to me!!!! Oh, and I keep a binder with all of the sketches in also, but I don't keep a pic of the card I made for it. I am sketch challenged so this binder is a tool for me, like all my other stamping tools. Great minds and all that............right?

Sallie, this is fabulous. I love how you altered and revamped your boots. I might have to do that the next time I use this stamp. Love the bg you created with the splatters too. A wonderful card.
