The current Impression Obsession challenge is "your favourite technique". Impossible for me to choose - I'm a technique lover. So I combined a couple of my go-to techniques on my background (wrinkle free distress and embossing resist) and my favourite colouring with distress inks for the image panel. I'd been hoping my new stamps might have arrived, but no such luck.
A2 base, sponged with Rusty Hinge.
For the background, first I used wrinkle free distress on a piece of white card with Weathered Wood, Faded Jeans, Stormy Sky and Iced Spruce.
When it was dry, I stamped Tapestry 2 with Versamark and embossed with clear EP; then I sponged it with Mustard Seed, Peeled Paint and Worn Lipstick.
Summer Birdhouse stamped on watercolour paper with Versafine Black, and coloured with distress inks - Weathered Wood, Faded Jeans, Fired Brick, Rusty Hinge, Scattered Straw, Worn Lipstick, Gathered Twigs, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss, Shabby Shutters, Mowed Lawn, Pumice Stone, Soot Black, Wild Honey, Brushed Corduroy. Background sponged with Peeled Paint, Tea Dye and Tumbled Glass. I added some diecut foliage and two butterflies punched from the trimmings of the background.

Hey, Sabrina, your card is wonderful! I really like the techniques you used, the way they turned out, and the way you did you butterflies is just really great! Thanks for playing and good luck in the drawing too!

Oh my goodness, your card is amazing. I have already saved it to My Favs so I can study all your techniques very carefully. Now I am off to research your wrinkle free distress technique. Being a woman of a certain age I am drawn to anything that says 'wrinkle free" LOL. Thank you Sabrina for ALWAYS inspiring me.
