I mixed distress inks on a piece of acetate and smooshed it directly onto watercolor paper to create the BG. I added a few splashes and splatters of ink as well. I stamped the leaves using Distress inks then blended the colors with water and a paint brush. Once the leaves were adhered to the background I cut the entire panel out giving it a stitched edge. Added a few pink flowers from my stash and stuck it onto a Sno Cone card base to finish it off.
Are you playing along? Come join us...I dare you to get dirty!
