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
