This is the first card I have made that will work for 3 challenges...and it is my third for the Colour Challenge, which does surprise me as I found it so hard to find anything in the way of grey....MIND YOU I have to add at this point that I had run out of grey, so had to rely on water colour pens for the grey factor - it is minimal, but it is there!
The actual cardstock is sponged, for something different, the birdhouse is stamped onto watercolour papers and coloured with an Aqua Pen. I have used dimensional magic on the plant pot to give it the appearance of a glazed pot. The sentiment is raised on 3D foam tape, to make it stand out. The floral squares are from a piece of wallpaper I have kept for years, inspite of being 'encouraged' to clean out some of my rubbish....I am very happy with it on this card - what do you think!?!?
I might just mention that i borrowed this stamp from a neighbour, who had it from the '80's and never uses it as it is outdated....I think it is so cute and not outdated at all - don't you!?!?
Thanks for looking and for your encouragement - it means so much!!!

charming, wonderful and delightful all rolled into one! l like you turned the sketch on vertical and your watercoloring is a great mix of the challenge colors with that lil' bit of yellow thrown in.
