I don't have any of today's color challenge colours, so I had to substitute some Ranger Distress inks - mixed a pink and light orange to try for a canteloupe color, and just used the greens that I had.
The image is watercolored (first layer sprayed with water to let ink spread), splattered and then I added some stamped splat images in various places. I snuck a little bit of brown in there with the butterfly! The sentiment is done in script calligraphy with Pelikan 4001 black ink and a dip nib - still needing practice with those things.
