IC373, Blue Bliss

Photo Details

Poster: k dunbrook

hi there,
Here is my card for the Inspiration challenge today from the site called OctoPurse and here is the card holder that inspired me:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/78672244...elicots-verts?
I started my card by using a tye dye technique. First, I sponged on different shades of blue Distress inks, overlapping them and then added water with my water pen to give the effect as it all blended together. When it was dry, I added the sentiment from Penny Black.
For the card base, I used the same colours of blue and just using the same sponge, dragged it across the cs to tie it all together.
Hope you like it and thanks so much for looking,
