I started by scribbling some gelatos on the background and then brushing gesso over them, which tones down the brightness. Then I added some old music, did some random stamping and stenciling, and added the stamped and colored tea bags. I added some die cut corner pieces and doodling, and then printed the Bible verse, cut it apart, and inked the edges. Once the pieces were attached, I added some shading with a black watercolor pencil and water brush

Wow, this is a mixed media wonder. Awesome techniques and textures. Love, love how you did the verse. The music reminds me that the verse is a song, too. Love the corners and the flowers. Fabulous card! Thanks for posting to the BVC thread which led me to that challenge. Very nicely done for all the challenges.
