CAS204, Blue Blocking

Photo Details

Poster: k dunbrook

hi there,
Here is my card for the CAS challenge today based on a sketch. I have been battling a sore back so I was so happy to have a chance to play along.
I was playing with my distress inks again and created the bkg. by inking up my acrylic block with blues, spraying with water and randomly stamped it being sure to overlap areas...re-inked it every time. I added a swipe with my ink pad directly to my card front, mounted the flowers and added the sentiment.
Hope you like it and thanks so much for looking.

Blue is my favourite colour and this is just a stunning use of it. I'll have to try your background technique.
