For Libby's paint challenge, I mixed some Claudine Hellmuth pink paint with water in a spray bottle (making a paint wash) and sprayed it through a stencil onto some water color paper. At first I didn't like it, but once it dried I decided it was a great subtle background for a card.
Those brown specs were on purpose, because I managed to get one spec that wouldn't come off, so I added a few more to make it look like I meant to do that. ;/
I dyed the vanilla seam binding with some Pink Pirouette dye ink and water.
