Looking through my stash of paper I picked out the closed colours I had to the challenge colours of Turquoise, Real Red and Emerald Envy. For the sky I used a water colour panel which I made with Magenta Nuance and Brushos.
I die cut the scene using the Frantic Stamper die and then cut it again in the brown for the trees and fence and red for the seat. I then pieced it all together - like doing a jigsaw puzzle. One hint to avoid chaos is to back the card for the die with wide double sided tape. You can then peel the backing off after cutting and put your die (hopefully intact) onto some baking paper. This lets you pick out the pieces you want easily.
The grass in real life is more of an emerald green - but can't get the computer to agree with that. This is as close as I could get. There is also gold and orange glitter gel on the leaves and pink to highlight the bench too.
There is no dessert in this scene -I don't have a bird small enough to stamp or die cut to add. The ones I have would look more like vultures and I don't think they inhabit this park.
Hope you enjoy.

Such a lovely and peaceful looking park scene- I like the background sky- I had trouble photographing this week as well- it took me many shots to figure out the correct settings for these colors
