I just love this beautiful image from Sweet 'N Sassy's, "Name Above All Names" and thought it was perfect for Lisa's HYCCT1516to use a Hug image or sentiment.
I colored the image with distress markers and took an aqua brush to lightly spread the ink. For the background I went through three Wrinkle Free Distress backgrounds before I was happy with the color match.
The MISTI came in very handy on this project. I was experimenting with a gorgeous technique but the experiments just didn't turn out. Not sure if it was my type of watercolor paper but after several tries I had to give up. I still had the stamps positioned on my MISTI so it was super easy to stamp another piece of cardstock and try something different!

This is just unbelievably beautiful, Angie. The color for your bg is so pretty and matches the main image perfectly. I love the watercolor look around the main image.
