For this week's challenge at Impression Obsession to make a floral card. I used diecuts to mask off the hydrangea stem, bloom, and leaves, then stamped the Chicken Wire and Reverse Polka-Dots backgrounds (inked with chalk ink then spritzed with water for a washed out watercolory effect). I also stamped the French Letter background in dye ink before lifting my masks. I inked and spritzed the elements of the Hydrangea clear set with Versamagic chalk inks, for a faux watercolor look... on the flower area, I used a couple of different inks, then also stamped single flowers over the area while it was still wet.

Love the subtlety of the background elements - it works perfectly with the dreamy image!
