Process:

I really enjoy watercoloring! I love the way the color moves where it will and blends with each other. The first thing I did was lay down some clear water in the area I wanted to paint. Then I picked up Pumpkin Pie ink from an acrylic block using my Wink of Stella Brush. Yes! The added glitter in the finished product is subtle and gorgeous! Next, I picked up some Mango Melody ink and brushed in on the area below the Pumpkin Pie.

After letting it dry for a good hour or so, I stamped the grasses from On the Horizon using Evening Evergreen. I used this color to stamp the sentiment on Watercolor Paper and cut it down as narrow as I could then added it under the grass.
