Joan Ervin's technique for today was intriguing. Read her instructions HERE.. My card turned out a little more "artsy" that I first anticipated, but decided to "go with the flow". I used the Rubbernecker stamp as a guide after I discovered my stamp pad inks did not adhere all that well to the bg that I had created with Joan's technique. It also became obvious that I had not covered my paper completely with the Glossy Accents/water mix....but I liked what happened anyway when I sponged on the TH inks. It's a fun technique...try it!

Wow! What an awesome piece of art! I really love how this technique turned out for you. I looks even better when the background isn't completely covered. Don't you just love it when accidents turn out to be creative!

I found that I didn't get my cardstock completely covered either, and left it. I think this technique has real merit....especially when it turns out a beauty like yours...and yes, artsy!!
