Good Morning.
Had some time to play and this is what I came up with.
I began by placing the flower stamp into my Misti, coloured directly onto the rubber with Tombow markers, sprayed with water and stamped. I cleaned off my stamp then inked it up with London Fog Memento ink and stamped across the bottom of my card front to fill in the empty areas.
Next, I stamped the sentiment with black Memento then heat embossed it with clear powder. I did that so when I sponged on the blue, it would resist the ink.
I inked in the whole background using Distress inks and a blending tool then sprinkled water over the whole piece to lift some of the colour.
To add additional interest, I stamped the squares around the edges and white heat embossed them.

A combination of beautiful techniques on this lovely card Karen!
Your backgrounds captivate me, Karen! I now am addicted to dandelion stamps and those square are just the perfect added touch to add interest. Thanks for the inspiration. I know right where to come when creativity leaves this house.
WOW - thanks for explaining how many techniques were used to make this brilliant card Karen. I need to do more embossing cuz it's SOOO effective. Love the watercolour effect you achieved too.
