Thank you Michelle for such a great challenge, I had so much fun making this card.
I made a huge 'happy' mess making the background. Spritzed Dylusions ink spray and water on a sheet of al foil*, swished the cardstock through it. There was still a lot of liquid to mop up, so I slapped a bit of gesso on the foil (because I can't find my molding paste) then stenciled a bit of a brick wall and leaves.
I used a gold cord for her headpiece, tied knots each side then unravelled the threads.
*I use kitchen aluminium foil instead of a craft mat, cheap as chips and I chuck it out when finished. Thank you for looking.

Someday you must make a video of you crafting! You are a master of backgrounds for sure! I also have an incredible desire to "chuck" out the traditional craft supplies and use your methods. How fun is this! Love that image and her blond wig. You have the most wonderful imagination resulting in fabulous cards!
