I started by using daubers to smear streaks of 3 colors of distress ink on water color paper, then I misted heavily and smeared it with my finger - set aside to dry. Stenciled embossing paste - set aside to dry. Downloaded digi, colored and fussy cut. Cut a blue mat, assembled all the pieces and added the ribbon.

Beautiful background, Priscilla, and outstanding design! Placing the 'happy' die cut over the paste embossing looks fantastic, and that's a wonderful image!

Fabulous colors on this yummy card. I love how you positioned the Happy - I think I need that die!! the silver embossing paste is perfect for the pretty colors in the background. Thanks for the details on how you did that.
