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.

Your card turned out just wonderful. I like the watercoloring on the wheat to add dimension and softness. And that verse is one of my favorites! Love it all .
