This is for Polly's terrific mixed media challenge - to use "text"from a book, magazine, etc and then die cut it and use on your card. I am also popping this into the very first MISTI Monday challenge. For all the details for the MISTI challenge click MISTI Monday August 2017 by MISTI Monday at Splitcoaststampers
The background was done using distress inks and the Smack & Squirt technique and blending. Smack distress ink pad onto aluminium foil, squirt on a lot of water, then use a foam blending tool and scrub it on to the card panel. Build up the colour by drying the cardstock with a heat gun before adding more colour.
Once dry, I did the border stamping using MISTI, this was a fun technique! I then coloured the weirdo girl with Prismacolour pencils and a dash of Copic marker over the top. She was stamped onto photo-copy paper, coloured, then fussy cut.
I used text from a cookbook and die cut a little fence and a pair of gumboots.
Thanks for looking, I hope you all have a happy, inky weekend.

Super creative and fun, Susie. She is so cool looking and looks even better against that great bg and with her stylish boots. I would buy a pair if I could find them with words like this. Well done and fun.

Hooray for Weirdos! This brings "delight" in so many ways...your brightly colored weirdo girl is fabulous and the printed boots...perfect (and they spell out delight!!!) !! The MISTI stamped border is a wonder and the cookbook text fence couldn't be more at home than on this card! Love what you did with the challenge....I can always count on you to do something uber creative

Miss Susie this is brilliant. Love the vibrant colors and love the fun image. Great job on the printed paper for your fence and love the new Misti Monday challenge. I might just need to get in on those challenges. Super fun card!
