I had so much fun making this card for Lydia's Dare To Get Dirty challenge today, and it fits today's Mix-Ability challenge too!
The background panel is a gel print - the most prominent layer was done with a large Martha Stewart peony stencil.
The stamp image is from Impression Obsession and it's one of my favorites. I stamped in Stazon Dove Gray and watercolored each section using watersoluble graphite. I really love that look!

Dina, this is a gorgeous card!! It's nice to see your black and white image. I so seldom do them, but this gives me an idea to do so again soon. Very lovely!!

This one is stunning! You did a great job combining the background and focal point. I agree - the graphite gives this a soft and elegant look.
