I tried the Faux Fresco Tutorial. I wasn't real happy with mine, but I never waste anything, so I put it on a birthday card I need. I think it was my paint, or maybe it bubbled like Lydia said it might. IRL, it is worse! I used a new EF, I had never even taken out of the package. Wildflower Meadow for the technique and Derwent pencils. Here is the Faux Fresco Tutorial. Lydia's technique and card are amazing.
Thank you for looking.

Sharon, I think you are too hard on yourself- this looks fabulous! I love your technique background along with the butterfly and embossed panel and I know your friend will love it as well!

Don't know what you're talking about - this card is fabulous! Gorgeous colors, and the first thing that jumped out at me was the beautiful background the butterfly was on. Made me think, "oooohhhh". Love it. TFS

Sharon, your faux fresco panel turned out beautifully! Texture is good! I love how it looks as a base for the butterfly. And with the background embossing pattern, it needs no sentiment. I love it!
