Peggy's color for this weeks challenge are Tempting Turquoise, Smoky Slate, and Crushed Curry, with the dessert birthday! Hope it is ok to use black as a neutral?
My first time trying the faux tile technique with glossy accents! Not very happy with the result. Lots of cracking as I tried to place them on the bg.
I first made a stencil of the father/son fishing and then sponged the colors into place. Wanted to have a few waves so added heat embossing with white embossing powder.
It seems the glossy accents changed the color very strangely of the father and son. They were both sponged in a very light black/grey and look at the colors that have come up after applying the glossy accents. Could it be a bit of the bg colors changed the black?
Will have to try this again but with a smaller image! TFL!!

Ann, this is like a lovely impressionistic painting.....an early morning, misty scene. That's what the Impressionist artists were trying to do...capture light. You suceeded in spades!!

I'd be thrilled to pieces if I'd made this card.....I love everything about it! The cracking is a technique in itself....there's a tute for it here, I think....I love the way it looks....into my faves!!

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
life is something that happens only when you run out of cardstock

I'm echoing all the other comments, but I have to: Your card is just beautiful! I love the tiles, don't see any cracks, and love the misty appearance of the image. It's wonderful!

Ann this is amazing! It almost looks like we are looking out a window at a spectacular scene of a father having a great day with his son. The added shine is what really makes it seem like a window scene. Super job on this one.
