Color Throwdown

Hey, hey, hey! It's hump day and that means a new Color Throwdown Challenge! 

 I used a couple of watercolor techniques for this fall greeting.  For the long rectangle, I used 3 different distress inks (Rusty Hinge, Peeled Paint, Mustard Seed) by stamping the block onto the ink pad, spritzing the block lightly with water then "stamping" it on watercolor CS.  I took a second sheet of watercolor CS and put a water "wash" over the entire panel.  I then used 3 different Pelikan paint colors and swirled it randomly over the panel - adding water to blend.  I then die cut the leaves. 

Our star stamper this week is Bernadette Bliss!  You don't want to miss her gorgeous card!
