details to follow, off to work now
finally back, work really gets in the way sometimes.
after stamping the penny black image and the stampit Australia text, I then pooled water on the thistle heads and sprinkled red brusho on the water. when you do this the water instantly activates the powder and gives the most intense colour. Once it dried I used white matte gesso with the stencil and covered the part of the card, The dots are actually glass beads by liquitex, For those who have never tried them you really should they are really neat.
This is my type of card, lots of TEXTURE.
I'm also entering this in for the following challenges http://craftstamper.blogspot.nl/ Craft stampers and the http://mixedmediamc.blogspot.ca/ Mixed media challenge

This caught my eye right away... absolutely stunning. That rust color is gorgeous. The bg stamps with that wonderful flower stamp are just the perfect combination. To say that I really love this is such an understatement. Pinned and faved.
