For today's color challenge with distressing as a desssert- I created this fall scene- with a blackbird in a stylized tree, and oversized reddish orange pumpkins in a field with a farmhouse in the background. Added a rather fancy sentiment panel, and used some woodgrain for my top border. Did some watercoloring and distressing by smearing the colored areas with a orange peel dipped in water as I didn't have a brush

Ok, you had me at "smeared with orange peel". I would never have thought to do that, but it worked well here. Love that cute blackbird and he looks grateful those wonderful pumpkins are in that field because he just might have himself a feast. Fun scene and a beautiful sentiment.

And I'll bet it smells delicious! I love the wood grain you added and that spooky tree.
