Stephanie has found another wonderful source of inspiration for this week's challenge. It is the Etsy Shop of Villa Sorgenfrei. I chose this RING.
I used a fern frond image rather than a leaf. I stamped my image with VM and used clear EP to emboss it. Mr. Huey's sprays have some lovely subtle colors and I used them like "paints" with a brush to color over my image. I then came back with Distress inks and a sponge dauber to add the remaining color and finally dripped and spritzed with water for the final effect.

This is just stunning. Love the droplets of water in the background.

Beautiful! Love the subtle colors... your painting technique yields a fabulous result! I hadn't heard of Mr. Huey's sprays before now... looks like I need to go shopping.
