The best place to be on a hot summer day is walking through the shade of the woods. We had a mild weekend but our temperatures are rising rapidly and we're in for some really hot ones so this image from the progressive challenge over at Dragon's Lair was a perfect way to think cool.
For this one, I got out my tray of watercolor paints and a couple of brushes, then colored the entire thing in watercolor. I managed the cloud by swirling water on the already painted and dry sky, then let it dry. That lifted out some of the sky color and created some fabulous shadows in the cloud.
I cut the image and the frame with dies from QuicKutz. Everything else was done with scraps which were already on my desk; paper, ribbon, mesh, sentiment and mat for it.. The foxes and the bird are tiny die cuts (Memory Box and Die-namics) which were double layered before gluing them to the image piece. I added a bit of ribbon and some mesh, then tied a bow of a lighter green scrap of ribbon.

This looks hard to watercolor...for me, anyway. Impressive way to use scraps, too! Thanks for sharing your creation with us @ Incy Wincy Designs Anything Goes Challenge. Good luck!-Maria Giselle
Gorgeous sky effect with the watercolors, and I like the fun die shape you chose for the scene. So glad you joined the challenge at Jo's Scrap Shack this week.
Blessings,
