I started with green and orange acrylic paint and 2 sizes of 
punchanella, and I dotted this around randomly on a white piece of card,
 I then let this dry. I then coloured the background using distress 
stains (aged mahogany, pine needles, rusty hinge, walnut stain and 
vintage photo) and when this was applied and had dried, the acrylic had 
acted as a resist. I then added some stamping in walnut stain with some 
texture stamps, but it was a bit too prominent, so i added some more 
water and it blended out a bit. I then stamped the main image onto the 
dry background in stazon and onto a spare piece of card which i also 
coloured with distress stains, I then cut this out and layered it on 
top. I added the dymo sentiment and a black line around the perimeter of
 the background piece, but it seemed too flat hence all the white signo 
uni ball detail :D I also made this card in duplicate, as i knew i was 
going to give this one away straight away and i wanted one on my shelf 
as inspiration :D
