Distress ink pads were rubbed directly onto an acrylic block and spritzed liberally with water and pressed to the paper to achieve the watercolored background. Allow each color to dry before applying the next color.
Thanks so much for looking!

Cathy this challenge was so much fun learning a new technique and playing in the water something I do not do often but oh so want to do again. Your card is fantastic. Super scene and wonderful colors. Thank you so much for such a fun challenge. Hugs! Lisa

I love the gorgeous background you created with your Distress inks, water and an acrylic block - I never seem to have very good results with that technique, so I'm always impressed when I see beauties like this! You've used my favorite image in that stamp set, as well : )
