This Color Challenge was to use Taken with Teal, Real Red, and Certainly Celery. I used SC150 for the layout here. With the exception of the gray, which is neutral, I stuck to the challenge colors even when water coloring this HM image. To get the pink, I rubbed most of the real red off the Aquapainter and squeezed more water into the brush. For the leaves, I used Celery and Teal. For the ground (shadows), I used Celery and Red. The main panel is popped up on dimensionals.
Thanks to Stacy for the HM image. I don't have any HM stamps! Thanks so much for taking a peek and your comments are greatly appreciated!!!

Wow, you did such a fabulous job on this! The HM stamps are so detailed that I usually give up on the AquaPainter and just use colored pencils. You got some fabulous results here with the watercolor crayons! Great job!
