The current High Hopes challenge is a color challenge, and it's all about Green! I chose to use the new Herbie image for my card -- I love his fat, purple ribbon award winning hens! (Purple ribbons are awarded for Best of Show at a county fair!)
I stamped the image on watercolor paper using StazOn ink and colored the image with Derwent Inktense colored pencils. I used some grass and leaf dies to add details to the scene.
Find all the details of this week's challenge on the High Hopes blog. I hope you join us!

Cute, cute. Would love to see a video on how you used the Derwent pencils to do the watercoloring. Sadly, I have had the big set for over a year and have not used them. Hope all is well.
