Poppy

I've recently signed up for a "background technique" class at Color Me Creative Classroom and the second technique that I have learnt is faux watercolour background. This is the card I made incorporating that technique:

I added Distress Stickles "Dried Marigold" and "Peeled Paint" to the poppy and used a Molotow white paint pen for the "white dots" in the background of the poppy. The flower patterned paper has Distress Stain "Picket Fence" sprayed onto it using a mini mister (after being covered with Distress Stain "Antique Linen".

I am entering this card in Word Art Wednesday Challenge #107 - Anything Goes. They have posted a beautiful verse this week, Psalm 19:1 and I found that I actually had the same verse on a stamp (from Our Daily Bread Designs - Scripture Collection 9).

Some more photos of my card:

Bit hard to see but both patterned papers have been covered with Distress Stain "Antique Linen". Some parts of the words have AtYou Spica #23 Pitch Black added to them for added sparkle.

I covered the paper with Distress Stain "Antique Linen" then splattered some water droplets on the page and dried it with a heat gun. I added some Flourishes "Poppy Patch" stamps to one corner using Distress Ink "Tattered Rose" and "Bundled Sage". I then inked the edges with Distress Ink "Walnut Stain".
