hi there,
Congrats to Heather aka Rica for being the FS. I was not familiar with her gallery so it was fun looking through. Here is the card I cased: A Misty Morn by Rica at Splitcoaststampers
I changed the colour a bit by adding a hint of pink. The bkg. was done by rubbing dye ink onto my acrylic block and then dropping Blending Solution over the ink. The solution pushed the ink away and you are left with really interesting results.
I moved the flowers to the side then added the sentiment right onto the card front.
thanks for looking:

Karen, blending solution like you use for acrylics? I have some I use when painting with acrylics. Gorgeous, gorgeous work and of course I want to try it. Thank you for the inspiration.
