This image seemed like a good fit for this technique, I wanted one with a bit of solidity to show off the chalk colors. I mixed a variety of greens for the background, sprayed it, then used bordering blue, amethyst, a variety of yellows for the flower center and some greens for the outside border. You really do have to 'pounce' the tissue as my first efforts did smear the ink. Thanks for the challenge and thanks for looking.

Great card. I really love the colors. Your image is perfect for this technique. I like the long streamers on the bow - they add to the soft feel of the card.

What a lovely card...I like how this technique turned out for you. And I love all the detail on the card, like the embossed corners and all the layers. TFS!
