I made this quickly before work and have only a minute now to upload. Will be back tonight with the details.
I am finally back with the details. I sponged and blended TH distress inks in raspberry, vintage photo, and mowed lawn to cover the cs. These were the closest I had to the chalkenge colors. Then I splattered with water to get some nice water spots. I sponged the same colors through a stencil, fading out in some areas. Finally, I stamped my image. Then there was the one step that is part of every card I make, the "OOOOPS *!?#@!! " step where I have to cover the smear, splat, or blob that mysteriously finds it's way onto the card just before I am finished. The 2 poped up flowers were used to hide the black splats that the kitchen witch ( who is the cause of all my kitchen disasters) must have put there. I added some white gel pen dots.
TFL, Francie
