I am a not a precise stamper meaning I don't use a ruler, but just eyeball, but on this one I actually used a ruler to draw the diamond shapes first.  My BFF was truly impressed caused she uses a ruler all the time.

I used the photo as my inspiration mainly with the pitcher and colors.  I had no mojo yesterday.  I worked on this challenge for 3 or 4 hours yesterday and still had nothing to show for it.  Finally, I said that's it, I need to go away.
Today thank goodness my mojo is back.  This only took about an hour to come up with something I could post and am happy with.

Ok, so I really struggled with this technique.  First tried to use the Round Repeats, but that didn't work for me.  I had to watch Dawn's video about 3 times and use her colors so I could place them correctly.

Muse #75 by Vicki Dutcher

My card for Muse 
I watercolored with Distress Inks, Mowed Lawn, Peacock Feathers and Squeezed Lemonade and then set a Heidi Swapp flower stencil over the top but it really didn't show up.  I remember trying this in the Water Color classes and had the same problem.  Oh well, I think the background is pretty anyway.

My card for two Challenges Addicted to Stamps & More
Make Your Mark
I  watercolored with Distress Inks, Mowed Lawn and Spun Sugar and PTI's, Berry Sorbet and Classic Kraft on Art Impressions, Foliage and EZ Project A stamps.
