In the spirit of often submitting a second CC card, I've combined it with today's challenges (WCW and SC) and the ABC16-I is for insect. I wasn't going to include that but as I'm rummaging for some sequins, I discovered the SU lady bug trinkets, never used, thought to myself, 'PERFECT!'
I decided to use the colors to paint leaves. Linda provided the part 2 video from last week. Excellent video! She knows how to teach. I used the reinkers for rich razzleberry, daffodil delight and pacific point. They blend well because they're basically primary colors. So I purposely mixed the colors a bit, letting one bleed into the next. My leaves turned out rather skinny because I resisted using too much pressure on the brush. It was a challenge figuring out how much water to paint ratio to use (I did use a damp brush to remove some color here and there). I will keep practicing so I can get fatter leaves. I really enjoyed combining these challenges.
As far as the sketch goes, the ladybugs sort of represent where the stars are in the sketch.

Love how you used the colors to create these beautiful leaves and so clever how you incorporated the design from the sketch. Wonderful card and I adore that sentiment.

Wow! I don't think I ever could have combined these three challenges. And certainly would not have done it nearly as well as you did. I love these rainbow leaves so much! Faved!
