City Crafters Challenge Blog

The card I'm sharing today is my entry for the current challenge  at City Crafters Challenge Blog


We are to use the picture shown below as the inspiration  for our card



The theme of this challenge is Inky-nes"S"
We are to create a project that features one or more of the following techniques

"S"mooching
"S"tencilling
"S"plattering
"S"ponging

My card was made using watercolor paper for the background.
I  "S"mooched the color in the masked off center square.
I "S"plattered  on the background with some gold colored acrylic paint.
I "S"ponged the background with a cloud template and distressed inks
I used some bits and pieces of leftover watercolor papers to die cut the flowers and stems. Painted them with distress inks and layered the flowers, stems and leaves.

This card is also being entered in 
Mynns Birthday Bash Giveaway at "On A Stampage Blog"
