Today for the WTUI challenge we are to use flowers! I thought I would try a new technique after watching Kim's Speckled Gesso Resist tutorial. This is the result of my first attempt at mixed media. Thanks for looking!

LOVE LOVE your bg, Cathy. It turned out spectacularly. The silhouetted flowers, as well as the bird, look great against it. Lovely card with beautiful details.
