STAMPTACULAR #119 Sketch Challenge with

Once again I am apologising for failing to come and visit so many of my blogbuddies although I did manage to get around to a few of you earlier in the week.  My work has thankfully lessened a little but now I have my lovely Mum to stay for a couple of weeks so I'm still quite busy.
Mum and I and best matey went to a Watercolour Class yesterday at The Craft Barn.  Fabulous teacher with a lovely personality and a great group of ladies were there too.  You'd think therefore that I would have waited until after Saturday to decide to water colour an image for this week's challenge at
STAMPTACULAR SUNDAY CHALLENGE
which is a fabulously easy sketch. I didn't wait, however.  I have used this adorable Teddy Bo image 065 called "Sausages", kindly supplied by one of our two sponsors this week and coloured him in proper water colour paints. It's not great but I'm reasonably happy with it and if I try to paint him again another time then at least I shall be able to see the before and after and judge how well I did on my course.  I used a variety of design papers.  The cutlery pattern is from the Kitchen collection by DCWV, the stripey squares are K&Co and the background and mounts are from my scraps drawer.   I just added three cutlery brads and an LOTV sentiment for this card which is for my brother's birthday.
I am entering my card into the following challenges:
Totally Gorjuss - "Summertime"
One Stop - "Summertime"
Sweet Stampin - Cute and Cuddly"
Come and play along with our sketch this week and you have a chance to win 3 digis from Teddy Bo and also a £10 certificate from the second of our fabby sponsors Bunny Zoe's Crafts and make sure you drop by the challenge site to see all of the lovely takes on this fabulous sketch.

Sorry, meant to comment on your subtle water coloring. I love the effect and think you did really well. You'll have to do the same image again in the same colors to compare. Be sure to post before and after.
