I have none of the sets she used so I used Still Life Stems for the main image, So Many Sayings (“kindred spirits” makes me think of friends at Halloween) for the sentiment and finally, Homespun Plaid in the background. I had a hard time using the aqua-painter on the Very Vanilla so I switched to watercolor paper and added a little grounding with Sahara Sand ink and the aqua-painter. Instead of popping a bloom on dimensional foam, I used a very small amount of copper Stickles and omitted the ribbon. Also, couldn’t stop myself from sponging some black around the card edges. Thanks for the inspiration, Nancy! I would be stalled at every turn without all the fabulous examples posted on Split Coast.
