Our free-for-all challenge (F4A262) is to use kraft. I wanted to try the whitewash technique (embossing, filling in the image with white craft ink and then coloring on top of that with markers and blender pen), but I used a hybrid white ink, and it didn't work as well. I still like the results but I didn't get that "milky" look that I expected. I used distress markers to color in the flowers and then added just a bit of water with a paintbrush. Then I added stickles just because I love bling!! Embossed the sentiment also, and this time I popped up the panel with foam. Worked great. Also linking to our spring challenge (CAS313).

This looks amazing with the white embossing filled in with color! Fantastic card!
