I used just archival black ink and spray mists to colour this card.
I started by spraying two shades of turquoise over a cubist stencil. Removed the stencil and spray lime green over everything.
Stamped my image and then added drops of sprays into a paint palette and watercoloured the image with a brush. The sprays are all frost, so this has a lot of shimmer to it.
