Breathe Kindness

Meet today's card.

Today, I am hosting the Technique Lovers Challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers.

For my challenge, I am presenting Loll Thompson's video as inspiration:

Splash Watercolour Backgrounds.

If you are a regular here at my blog, you know that I have been addicted to this fun and easy technique to create quick, simple backgrounds.  What I also love about them is that they are easy to stamp over.  I use a heavy white cardstock but you can use watercolour paper as Loll suggests in her video.  I think most of you already have some kind of water based ink on hand.

So using Loll's technique and some Peacock Feathers and Salty Ocean Distress Oxides, my background was born.  It dries quickly which is good if you want to get down to stamping like I do.
I stamped the Grafitti down the left side to help ground the card with Salty Ocean so it would blend in with the layers of ink already on my card.
I place the thistle stamp into my Misti, inked with black and pressed onto my paper.
I also did that with the sentiment.

Thanks so much for taking a look.
Hope you get a chance to try it out.
