HAPPY LITTLE STAMPERS - OCTOBER WATERCOLOUR CHALLENGE










Welcome back to another month's Watercolour Challenge at Happy Little Stampers.  As usual our theme is Anything Goes as long as it's watercoloured.

I used some Tim Holtz Watercolour card stock for my card as I knew I wanted to add a lot of water to my background.  I smooshed the cardstock first with some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks and then used the brick stencil from Visible Image.

I stamped over this with Versafine Clair Ink in Nocturne using a Tracy Evans stamp and left the flower plain.  I added another of Tracy's stamps in the butterfly and fussy cut this out and coloured it in with the same colour Distress Oxides.  The sentiments are also from Tracy Evans. 




I'm entering this into the following challenges:

The Outlawz Challenge - inspired by the line - The month is Amber, Gold and Brown 
Sunday Stamps - Colour Challenge - brown, orange, black 
Dare 2B Artzy - Favourite Colours - these are my favourite colours as Autumn is my favourite season
Stamping Sensations - All Things Autumn 
We love 2 Create - AG Mixed Media 
The Paper Players - Changing Seasons 
Allsorts - Gardeners Delight - Butterflies are a delight and I would love to see hares in my garden!
Inkspirational - Stencils

This is really pretty, Fiona! I am still seeing butterflies in my yard (when it's not raining) so it's quite appropriate. Gorgeous fall colors too! Thanks for playing with us at the Players this week with our theme challenge!
