For Cathy's DTGD challenge I started by laying down Distress Crayon on watercolor paper. I dabbed my finger in water and blended the colors until smooth. Then I sprinkled some Color Burst powder and spritzed with water to blend. Once dry I ran it through my vagabond using MFT dienamics (Stitched Strip) to create the stitched pattern. I added a piece of ribbon to add a little contrast.

Me again, my Distress Crayons arrived today and I remembered that you said you dipped your finger in water and blended them......well I did the same thing trying to get this intensity of colour. I don't have any fingerprints left!!! I came back to check what you did - add colour burst powders. I should have known it was going to be involved knowing you!! Fabulous card Jacqueline.
