My card would be for Shirley's challenge-spread your wings and fly, and Dina's mixed media challenge. Started by printing digi on watercolor paper....colored first layer with reinkers. Added next layers with intense pencil while paper was still damp. They do not spread like some other water color pencils. Finished highlighting with the charcoal pencil. Did the cracked glass technique on image. Finished by framing with a die that was sponged. Using the pencils gives you nice shading. TFL

The cracked glass finishes off your floral image so wonderfully, Linda. And what a great frame. My budget is happy that those dies are designed for the standard American card size and would therefore not be practical for me, but I always think they look so good.

Linda, your coloring is gorgeous, and I love your cracked glass. I have tried this technique and it has never turned out this well. And that frame is beautiful. Wonderful card

No wonder this is so gorgeous, you spent a lot of time with the various media used. On top of the coloring, you used the cracked glass technique for the ultlmate vintage finish. So beautiful!
