I sat down this morning looking for inspiration and this layout came together faster than any one I've done before.  I applied clear gesso before adding water and drops of mist to create a watercolor background.  Next I applied stenciling and stamps before adding layers of paper and embellishments.

I used three website challenges for inspiration.  The first was Rochelle Spears' Tic Tac Toe August Challenge.  I used the dry embossing, circle, and chevron patterned paper.

For the colors, I used The Scrappy Friends Color Challenge.  This isn't a color combo I'd normally gravitate towards and I wasn't sure I'd participate in this one, but I enjoyed the challenge.  Actually, I think that's what helped it come together so quickly.
