This is my first card for the sketch challenge and my second card for the technique challenge.
I suddenly had an over whelming desire to try out the technique challenge with one of my favourite colour combos dating back to when I was a teenager in the early 60's and my aunt made me a Moo Moo dress that was chocolate brown, emerald green with a touch of mustard yellow. I loved that dress and have loved those colours ever since.
I used the smooth side of the watercolour paper first spritzing it very lightly with water from a mini mister.
I also cut two of my old cards down the centre one horizontally and one vertically, this gave me smaller edges to work with and more flexibility regarding the swipes.
I attached the background die with PVA glue and also put a couple of drops behind the greeting on the vellum so that it wouldn't show through....and that 's all folks.
Cheers
Marg

I do like this colour combination, Marg! Your swiped panel looks terrific with the die cut flowers and vellum sentiment and I really like the latticed bg!!

Awesome color combo...that green trellis BG is so GREAT to start it off, and love your abstract panels setting off your mustard-colored glitzy flowers...vellum sentiment...such a GREAT addition!
