Created for MIX18 challenge. I'm not very good at painting, so I just painted a simple rectangle shape in the corner of my card and stamped the sentiment over it. I doodled some lines around the outside of the sentiment and the card with black marker.
The background of the card turned out kinda cool. I used Tim Holtz distress paints in brown and tarnished brass for the watercolored portion. I stamped the colors on a plastic palette then spritzed with water to they ran together, then dragged the paper through it until there was full coverage. Once dried with a heat gun I stamped the oak leaves from French Foliage in brown ink.
thanks for looking!

I agree - the background turned out very cool! And just doing that irregular white spot with the sentiment on it is perfect here. Lovely card!
