VSN, Haiku and Mud

I know it's a strange title, but it covers most of the bases.  This card came about during VSN for a challenge that Faith issued.  The challenge was called Muddy Water.  The task was to create a card with watercolors and a good amount of brown.  I decided on yellow-orange flowers because I thought they looked like marigolds.  I had them already stamped on watercolor paper, so I just slopped on a few colors and found some matching retired SU paper to back it up.  I decided to mat the whole thing with brown and use brown to accent the piece.  I like the way it turned out!

I used a current sketch from Taylored Expressions to start off my card.  VSN would be painful if it weren't for all the fabulous sketches that are available!

Thanks for stopping by!
