Quitting Time

Photo Details

Poster: mitchygitchygoomy

You know when it is time to quit and leave well enough alone? Yeah, not me, uuughhh. It took a long time to get my pumpkin watercolour to where I was happy with it, but I just had to keep going. It took me more time to salvage it than it did to make it, but in the end, I got to try out Kiaâs fun watercolour tutorial from last Wednesday, as well as Sabrina faux patina tutorial. The two paired well. Thanks ladies.

You didn't work one minute too long putting this beauty together. I love your watercolored pumpkins and everything else about this card. Your pumpkin shapes are awesome, love the leaves, and the watercoloring.

Well goodness, I had thought those pumpkins were stamped not drawn from scratch, so you certainly did an amazing job. And the brick wall behind them certainly does pair well with the vintage distressed patina background.

Smiling here!!! Love your watercolored pumpkins. They are terrific and realistic. Clever and thanks for showing us how you salvaged them to create this amazing card. My favorite idea that came from this creation, is that you shared it with us using Kia's challenge. Love seeing you join us. You know how to work those brushes and paints.
