OK, before you call out the challenge police on me, the only inks I used for this card were the colors in today's color challenge: Strawberry Slush, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, and Island Indigo. I scribbled markers onto acetate and mixed them for the brown and green tones you see in the coloring. All the coloring was watercolored with a wet brush dipped in either an ink pad lid or on the scribbled marker on the acetate.
I got my package of goodies from Verve yesterday from my order placed using the prize I won in the Dare to Get Dirty Challenges last month (plus a little extra cash of my own because who could resist going over the amount I won especially when there was a sale!). I stamped my sentiment in Island Indigo and framed it in the same...you can see an oops on the frame from laying one of my stamps down on it. I added some candy dots for accents.

First of all congrats on winning the Dare To Get Dirty Challenge. I bet it was a lot of fun getting your winnings. Love your card. It really shows how well all the colors of today's challenge work together. Great stamp and sentiment.
