This was a quick and easy card...woo hoo no drips, smears or blobs. Stamped the floral bkg stamp and sponged with distress inks - as close to the CC491 colors as I could get. Since I used memento instead of stazon black to stamp the image, I couldn't spritz with water. I used a q-tip dipped in water to get a little pattern on the bkg. Then I just chose coordinating dp, sponged wdges eith a little black and it was done. It's actually a little boring when everything goes acording to plan. TFL, Francie

LOL at your 'a little boring' comment. Sometimes I'm quite happy when things do go according to plan. I could certainly have done without the unwanted smudge on my TPT card this evening when I didn’t have time to print a new card front.
The dimension in your flowers is quite amazing, they really look as if they are curling up from the page.

Oh, boring is good when everything goes according to plan, especially when the result is this beautiful! Great tip about not being able to spritz when using Memento ink! Lovely card!
