I'm proud to announce that I'm now a design team member for a brand new challenge blog called Crafty Catwalk (http://www.craftycatwalk.blogspot.com/) and this is the first color challenge card created by me! At the Crafty Catwalk you can see the bi-monthly challenges which are based on current fashion treads and see what the rest of the design team has come with. Check it out, then get out your own supplies and play along!

First fold More Mustard card stock (5 1/2" x 8 1/2") in half.

Add ribbon to this piece and then adhere to the front of the card. 

Next, cut watercolor paper 3 1/4" x 4 3/8", tear 1/4" off the bottom edge and then stamp images in black Stazon ink using the masking technique.

Watercolor images using aqua painter, More Mustard, Pumpkin Pie and Chocolate Chip ink. Don't forget to "paint" a shadow under the pumpkins so they don't look like they are floating in space!

Cut a piece of Chocolate Chip card stock 4 1/2" x 4 5/8", tear the bottom edge and use to matte watercolor image.  

Add gold brads, spritz with the Smooch Spritz and adhere completed piece to front of card with dementionals.
