I am here with "CUTplorations challenge" for the month of November :) I hope you will play along with us.All you have to do is create a project based on the inspiration photo and using die cut(s). You must use at least one STAMPlorations/CUTplorations product (there's always the free digi stamp from the Never Ending Challenge). Then link up to the gallery which will be open until 11:55 PM PST on the last day of the month. You must also share the challenge graphic and link to the CUTplorations post in your blog posts.

The DT will select three top picks from the gallery to receive a winner's badge and one random winner will receive her pick of any two of the CUTplorations word dies used by the DT in today's post. Sounds like fun and rewarding. You can link as many times as you want.

This months Photo is superb! I had so much fun with this new challenge.
Here is the card, I created inspired by this photo :)
 
I diecut the edge od the watercolor panel, stamped the bird and did some wet on wet watercoloring. Then I used the stencil and traced along the cuts of the leaves with gold gel pen. I also drew some detail lines on the leaves. To finish the card I layered the panel on patterned paper :)
Here are a few more shots...
 And a closeup...
