Good morning folks, I'm a day late with this post it's time for a new challenge over at Chocolate Baroque Challenge and as always we have a lovely colour palette to inspire you. I've used a mixture of the new stamps that were on Hochanda last month, Baroque Meadow with an old favourite called Patchwork Butterfly
Here's the colour palette for this months colour challenge

I've used one of the fabulous Pink Pig art journals which were also on Hochanda, this one has watercolour paper and I've been really impressed with the quality of the paper. I began with a mixture of gelatos in the challenge colours and then stencilled over the top with Magenta Shade and Magenta Extra Dark PanPastel. Next I stamped the images with versamark and applied Gold PanPastel over the top, you can see it a bit better in this pic.
I added colour to the butterflies with more gelatos and used a black charcoal pencil around the edges to give them a bit more definition. I stamped the word inspire from Artistic Expressions to finish the page.
I'm entering this project in the following challenges:
