This is for WT392 - to use markers in a way other than coloring and yesterday's sketch- SC402. I used Misting with Markers technique on my background ( it misted or got wetter than I would have liked but it created a fun background) and water coloring with markers for my image. I wanted to make a masculine thinking of you card for a friend, recently diagnosed with Cancer of the Liver. I hope it in some way encourages him.
Card Recipe:
Paper: SU Soft Suede, Neenah White, Watercolor paper Baja Breeze
Dies: Spellbinders: Labels 17 Labels 13, Labels 22, Labels 18,
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs Keep Climbing as well as Vine Background
Thanks for looking!!

Great BG, beautiful focal image. This card does have a retro feel as Linda said. Love it!
