I love today's color challenge colors: Real Red, Pool Party and So Saffron. This also fits the Teapot Challenge to use something grown in a garden along with a Scripture verse. I stamped my wheat by inking with So Saffron first. I then scribbled onto acetate with a red marker then spritzed that with water and used a paintbrush to add some red to the wheat. I then spritzed the stamp with water and stamped. I also flicked a few red drips onto the image and painted a bit on the lower part (most of this ended up being cut off due to an error cutting the red matting that required me to change the size of the image panel too). I then carefully placed my cloud template to avoid sponging too much over the wheat and sponged Pool Party clouds. I rounded one corner and added a Baker's Twine bow. I also scored on the portion below my image panel due to the sizing mishap.

Nice card! I like the wheat w/the little touch of red and your sky is awesome. Your "mishap" resulting in the bottom scores look like it was meant to be there.

What a fab card. Love the touch of red on the wheat and the lovely clouds. Great attention to detail here with the scoring along the bottom and the one rounded corner.
