This is the background set I got as part of the preorder and it's been taunting me, "how ya gonna use me... heh?". Time to tame the thing! The "Think Big" and "Vellum" challenges seemed to do nicely. So...I used a technique I either invented or just was never aware of. I'll call it "aqua off". I inked the entire image with one color (the new Coastal Cabbanna) then removed some of the color (but not too much) with my aqua painter. Then I used markers to put just two colors back in so I still would still have a monochromatic feel. I spritzed the entire surface very lightly with water and stamped onto vellum, dried with my heat gun. Then the bright idea hit me to try layering the vellum on top of the newsprint DSP. I like it. It totally 'needed' the Daily Edition flowers, and the leaves were leftovers from a failed experiment for my convention swaps, but looked good on this card. There you have it!
Thanks for the lovely challenges!
