Lawnscaping #129, calling all critters

Hello.
Super fun challenge today on the Lawnscaping blog, Calling all critters.
So many options are there for you to use your favourite critters :)
This challenge is sponsored by the fabulous Ellen Hutson.

I had a  lot of fun making this card.

I started by colouring a die cut panel with some distress inks. 

I used my favourite new technique...which is to use make up brushes.

Once the colour was on I added some extra interest by flicking water on and added some perfect pearls for some shimmer,

Then I used the icicle die for some grass.

The critters and flowers are all stamped on to water colour card and water coloured with Inktense pencils and a water brush.

Everything was then fussy cut.

Once everything was adhered in place I added the die cut sentiment which has been cut and layered three times then covered with perfect pearls and glossy accents.

Final finishing touches were some sequins and stickles.

Thanks for looking.
