WT439, Birthday in Blue

Photo Details

Poster: k dunbrook

hi there,
Here is my card for the WT; backgrounds. To create my flowers I started by rubbing Distress inks onto a non-stick craft sheet and spraying with water. I then stamped the flowers and cut them out then added some white dots with my Signo pen. For my bkg. using the same diluted ink from the craft sheet, I painted over a piece of drywall tape.
Thanks for looking.

Who knew a "grungy" background would make such a perfect backdrop for pretty flowers? Looks fabulous! Into may faves, thank you very much...

Beautiful--love the soft water color look--and the monochromatic feel of the card.

I love using wrinkle-free distress for stamping on, it adds instant depth. I never thought of picking up the leftover ink and getting more mileage out of it!
The blue and white is a wonderful happy-making colour combination.

Excellent! Drywall tape is the greatest. You did well with both the BG and the flowers.
