A touch of unexpected blue went into this classic Rubber Stampede pear. I stamped the pear, using only water and then daubed my brush onto the tips of the watercolor crayons that were on my desk. I tried not to think, as I usually freak out a bit when holding a brush. When the pear colors dried, I over-stamped the image with the green. There were a few out-of-the-line splotched areas, which led me to using the black watercolor crayon as a BG to cover it up. When trimming it down, I liked the white base line, but the pear was floating too much in the middle, so adding the sentiment balanced it out. Love the rich purple panel. All was mounted on white felt card.

Your pear is beautiful and I really like the unexpected color. Plus, you have created such an awesome background. Don't be freaking out when holding that brush....it likes you.

Great take on the unexpected color challenge with the touch of blue. Like how you balanced everything wit the great gray bg. It really makes the pear pop. Glad that you are trying new things with the water coloring. Like the soft look the crayons gave you. Terrific card. TFS
