This is for CC123 to use Bordering Blue, Not Quite Navy, Mellow Moss, Always Artichoke. I always pull out Loads of Love when I'm in doubt about what set to use for the color challenge. As it as it turns out I love this color combination. I used a large dry watercolor brush brushed directly on the ink pad to apply bordering blue, moss and caramel for the water and ground areas. I did add caramel and basic brown as neutral colors for the dirt path and to paint my sketched rocks. I stamped the main images with stazon and painted them with watercolor brushes and reinkers. I cut them all out. I applied versa and clear ep to the frogs to make them look wet and slippery. I used my mini fern stamp to apply the grassy areas . I used a sponge dauber to apply caramel along the water's edge to give the muddy look of a country creek line. Then I brushed my versa brush tip pen over the water to so I could apply clear ep to make the water look wet an shiney. I used bordering blue and a sponge with my cloud template to create the sky line. I added a little banana along the edge of the weeds to brighten them up.
