This card was purely experimental, and went through quite a process to get to a finished state... I'm not even certain that it's finished! It started as a reddish background done with mixed Brusho crystals... I stamped the orchids over the background and brushed Permanent Masking Medium over it, hoping it would resist paint for Robin's Hope You Can Cling To challenge today. Either I didn't wait long enough or the paper absorbed the medium, because that layer of resist didn't really work.
The background was stamped with Versamark and then given a coat of PanPastels - white, then purple.
There's a further layer of masking medium on there, which did work, and more purple added with Inktense blocks.

The depth you have going on in this card is amazing. The whole thing is just breathtaking!
