This is my second take on this layout! I'm trying to decide whether to go with watercoloring with my group, or paper piecing! If any of my groupers are watching, feel free to cast your vote!
This card uses the Autumn Harvest set, and this one is watercolored with ink pads and aqua painters. I also made a sample with watercolor crayons and one with pastels.... I embossed it first, because I don't have brown staz-on yet..
The colors for watercoloring are RHred, Rrust, Ppie, Mmustard, Aartichoke, and Cchip. The background pieces came from the hostess paper pack. My top piece is not 3x3 - I cheated to save paper and use up a scrap. The circles are also punched from the layers.
This is a beautiful stamp set, and my wonderful mom is letting me borrow it, even though we live 4+ hours apart, and it is almost October.... although, she's confessed she is behind (where's my b-day card???) and so I doubt she needs this yet.lol Maybe I will mail her ransom notes with pictures of her stamp sets dangling above a boiling pot of water.....
