A card for today's Ways to Use It challenge to use spritzing and spraying. This is done using a watercolour bg created by pressing ink pads onto an acrylic block, then spraying it with water before pressing onto the watercolour paper. It's then been spritzed with water and pressed with a paper towel to lift some of the ink.
The wildflowers have been highlighted with a white gel pen. Thanks for a great challenge, Cathy!

Very pretty - beautiful colors! I stared at this card trying to figure out how you made your silhouette appear so distinct. Then I read your comments - it's the white highlighting - genius!

Bridget, you create some of the most beautiful backgrounds I have seen! Your gradient is gorgeous! I love the highlighting of the silhouette too and sounds much easier than the 12 attempts I need to offset stamping in versamark!
