Online Card Class: Background Check

I'm taking another Online Card Class this week and the subject is Backgrounds.  Here is the first card I created using techniques from both Jennifer's and Kristina's lessons.

The poppy flower is a stencil from Penny Black. I used Distress inks on the flower.  Then with the stencil in place I overlaid a Heidi Swapp stencil that was misted with water and perfect pearls to remove some of the ink.  Then I watercolored the background with distress inks and lots of water and a paint brush, drying the ink in between layers.

Thanks for coming by!
