I put gesso on my cardstock, ripped Bockpages and ripped used Kitchenroll in strips, glued on. Put a Layerof Decoupage gel overall, let dry. Dabbed Distress Stains in 3 Colors over the whole background, spritzed with water and let drip. Let dry. Used black Acrylic paint and stamped over the background, Stamped the men on tissuepaper, glued on the background. Used Masking Tape and made me some washitape with Acrylic paint, when dry stamped over it and embossed it clear. Used a piece under the men, on the sentiment piece and on the left side. To bring the Tape mor in the foreground, I used my black Stabilo Pencil. Glued my sentiment on and brayered the whole card with clear Acrylic gel to seal it. When dry I put it between a folded Paper and trough my Big Shot a few times to flatten it.

Oh how true....my misfortune was to never find a man quite Iike that. Or let's just say my tears never resulted in positive action. Your backgrounds have been so wonderful!

Fantastic MM card Dagmar. Love it all. TFS. Happy day
Yes this sentiment is very true. Fortunately I finally found one that didn’t make me cry for the wrong reasons

Excellent sentiment. What a labor of love you put into all the layers of this card. Such depth and interest to view. I also wonder how it would be to touch it. I am so enjoying your mixed media work.
