I got up early this morning to play around with some background techniques using Ranger Distress ink color combos. Then I saw that the WT challenge was to use green. Ok, how do I come up with something green using Dusty Concord and Spiced Marmalade...tricky but doable. The leaves, ribbon, and Prism card base are all shades of green. The purple and orange are just accent colors....think the challenge police will go for that??? Anyway....the KK Originals Iris image was stamped twice with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with copics. The flowers of one image were cutout and attached over the other for a little dimension. The image was masked and the background was created using Dusty Concord and Spiced Marmalade Ranger Distress inks. I uploaded a tutorial on the background technique to my blog. TFL and have a great day!!!

If it takes playing around in the mornings to create something as gorgeous as this, then I think I'd better add that into my routine! this is just gorgeous, Joan! What a beauty.
