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.

Love how you altered the garden 'wellies' and did them without the polka dots - so sophisticated looking without them! The true watercolored look that comes with 'no-line' stamping gives this image such a professional look - you sure have put those W/C lessons you took to excellent use!! Love the earthy look of this with the rough corrugated piece behind it!

Beautiful watercoloring, Sallie, and I love the corrugated panel. I can only imagine how gorgeous your sketch binder must be with all your lovely cards!
