This is for today's sketch and yesterday's colors, which are gorgeous grape, pumpkin pie and daffodil delight. I used melon mambo because apparently I don't have pumpkin pie. The dots for the sketch are all painted with the reinkers, trying to get some bleeding and blends. They don't bleed and blend quite like watercolors, but close enough. I added soft suede and mossy meadow to the mix. Some sequins are added for more circles.
I came rather late to the diecutting game and bought the leaf dies recently, not knowing what BIGZ meant. I had to figure out how to cut them using my Big Shot Plus. I cut them from glossy white and used coordinating alcohol inks to pounce on them. I really enjoyed working on this. Thanks, Mary and Lisa.

Fab take on the sketch, Jean...love the paint daub circles and colorful leaf additions! Have to look into that Polished Stone technique...this card is so much fun and so cheerful!

Stirling use of the CC's this week. I love how intense they are. Your leaves look wonderful in their splattery colours and the pounced dots are a great tribute to the sketch.
