Color Challenge hosted by Karen: Cajun Craze, Mossy Meadow, Pool Party with DSP for the dessert option.
Bible Verse Challenge hosted by Julie: use a Bible verse on your project and memorize it if you can. I used a favorite stamp with a verse from 1 Thessalonians 5:18. The stamp actually helped me to memorize the whole verse.
This cute Harvest Mouse was perfect for the colors using Sahara Sand as a neutral for the mouse and a little wash on the ground. I stenciled some grass to line the mouse's path and sponged some Pool Party in the sky using a cloud template.
After I stamped, colored and started to do the sky, I noticed a faint circle on the watercolor paper as if it was dry embossed. Not sure how it got there; I was too far along to use a different piece. I decided to use it for my advantage and stamp the verse that I had already chosen inside the circle. It certainly worked for good. I am thankful that I did not have to start over.
The DSP is long retired and the color is Really Rust. It went so nicely with the Cajun Craze so I used it as a substitution. Added a variegated scrap of fiber and a wood heart embellishment.
Great colors to work with. Thanks for looking!
