Michelle's fun challenge was to bring colour. I wasn't sure what I was making when I started out so I spounged distress inks over half a sheet of A4. I then squirted the paper with water mixed with a few drops of Vintage Photo reinker, then a few more squirts with water and Aged mahogany.
I got carried away and the coloured water was starting to look like big puddles so I gently dabbed them with a baby wipe.
I cut two panels to make two cards, stamped the sentiment in TH Black Soot distress ink (I wish I knew the brand). Adhered two floral die cuts (one in black cardstock and the other inked to match paper). Fine doodled border.
Great fun and super quick. Thank you for looking.

Beautiful background you created and turned into beautiful cards. Now I feel like I took the easy way out by just coloring my image. I'll have to be more adventurous.
