CC467, Beautiful Blues

Photo Details

Poster: k dunbrook

hi there,
Here is my card for the CC today. I don't own those SU colours so I tried my best to match them.
I began by using Gesso over a stencil for the bkg. then added a strip of paper that I stamped with Distress inks and sprayed with water.
The flower is also done with Distress inks and water, cut into pieces and pop dot mounted.
thanks for looking,

Striking and lovely CAS card with today's colors, Karen. I like what you did with the gesso and stencil to add a subtle texture to your card. Your work with distress inks and water is ALWAYS phenomenal.
