For today's Limited Supply Challenge, LSC161 - Why, oh why.
I inked the brushed lily image with Worn Lipstick and Peeled Paint Distress Inks by tapping the corner of the pad around the image, misted with water and stamped on a piece of watercolor paper that I had already misted with water. While still wet, I added some Tattered Rose to lighten the shades of the lily and worked the darker into the open areas of the flower. I then misted the entire panel with Shimmer Mist made with Broken China and Gold Perfect Pearls. Once dry, I stamped very lightly (so lightly you can hardly see it) French Letter graphic over the image in Antique Linen. Once complete, I sponged the edges with Antique Linen. For my background paper, and I had forgotten I had this. I used Memory Box Enlighten. All the edges were sponged with Peeled Paint, because I had cut the paper down and it left two sides without the original shading. For my embellishment and sentiment, I picked a metal tag line that I just had to buy one day at Archivers. I have picked this tag line up over and over again, and keep throwing it back in the drawer. Today I made it work by taking the chains off either side and running the ribbon through it to fasten to the card. Those brads in the corner are another embellishment I just had to have and rarely use.
I also realized that once I finished this card, that it fit yesterdays Ways to Use It Challenge, WT159.
