I combined Sketch #5 with the Kissing technique, and I used the Color Combo of Rose Red and Chocolate Chip. It is very hard to see, but I kissed the Kinkade image with the Weave backgrounder, and I kissed the Sophisticated Swirls backgrounder with the same Weave backgrounder. It gives the Kinkade a sort of tapestry effect.
I wanted to make the Kinkade image pop out a bit instead of getting lost in all the brown, so I colored the top of the gazebo and the fence with a Rose Red marker. I would have preferred to use Timber Brown stazon, and then watercolored, but that would have been cheating. :-) If you look REALLY closely, you will see that there are swirls in the fence and the top of the gazebo. I tried to echo that with my choice of backgrounder and hardware.

This is very nice. I love the rr highlighted areas. That is a great effect. Then the hardware is the perfect finishing touch. Great effort on this challenging challenge. Great combo. TFS
