I tried several prints using the Wrinkle Free Distress technique, but none turned out as I wanted, so I added wrinkles by wadding up the wax paper on which I had inked and spritzed with Shabby Shutters. I divided the distressed panel into four quadrants, stamped the sentiment and image and added some doodling and gems. I had trouble getting a photo that was close to the actual color; outdoors was best, but the shadows make it harder to see the shape of the gems, which sort of look like seeds.

I love the way your distressed panels turned out. Waxed Paper? Who knew til now. The four quadrants with the doodling are fab and I love the quote juxtaposed with those sweet garden boots. This card is simply wonderful and I bet Diane will love it.

Oh how I wish I could doodle like this - it’s so perfect! Love the quadrant design, and the black seeds and boots look so cool against the soft green wfd. Lovely work!

The organic look of your background works so well with the seed and gardening theme. I think we've all been there with problems taking a good photo! It should be straightforward, but sometimes it just isn't.
