Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #36

Happy Saturday! Thanks for joining me for a card for this week'sWaltzingmouse Sketch Challenge. Here is this week's sketch:

Here is my take on the sketch:

I again used my distress inks as watercolor paint and colored the apples from the Peace and Plenty set with barn door and a little bit of crushed olive. The stems are colored with vintage photo and the leaves peeled paint. 

The background is made the same way as this card. I smashed some barn door on my acrylic block, spritzed it with lots of water then covered the whole piece with the watered down ink using a paint brush.

The pattern on the background is made using the different sizes of circle tree leave stamps from the Teeny Trees set. The ink that I used for stamping the patterns is very similar to the one I used to cover the background, but not as watered down. I smashed some barn door on the acrylic block, spritzed water on it then picked up the ink with the stamps. I stamped off the first impressions on a piece of scratch paper to get rid of most of the water before I stamped them on the background piece. The sentiment is from the Fancy Phrases set.

You can use any stamps you want for the challenge, but we would love it if you can use Waltzingmouse Stamps! Please go to the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge Blog to see what the other Mischief Makers came up with and check out all the details for the challenge.

Hope you can join us this week!
