I've uploaded this 3 times now, trying to get a non-blurry image. It's driving me crazy! Anyway, I'm glad I finally got to play with one of my new stamps.

Hi everyone! Thanks for all your nice comments this morning! For those of you who asked about the background: I smeared chalk inks on glossy white, sprayed with 90% alcohol, let dry, then polished off the chalk residue. After that I wheeled with the Fine Foliage jumbo wheel and Mellow Moss ink and wiped off right after I wheeled it. It left just a subtle suggestion of the wheel. Most of it got covered up or cut off but you can still see some of it. Also, the image is not watercolored. It's colored with Stampin' Pastels and then sprayed with a gloss sealer. Thanks for asking! Love you guys!

Leslie, this is one of my favorite cards with this set, so far!!!!!! It is gorgeous! I am also interested in how you did the background. Is the ink sponged onto the glossy paper? Did you use the chalk inks for the background? I love this one!
