After stamping the image, I masked Charlotte with 'drawing gum' -that stuff is not for the faint hearted, it smells like a dead critter. Anyway after this dreadful stuff dried I sprayed Dylusions ink spray and some Izink onto a sheet of aluminium foil, squirted on lots of water and dunked the card in the inky puddle.
When I was happy with the colour, I removed the masking fluid (it doesn't smell when it's dry thank goodness). Next step was to add lots and lots of silver stickles, add sentiment and then doodled a border.
At this point I should have walked away.....but no, I had to pick up the grunge circle stamp and add a few grungy stamps. It looked awful, I tried scrubbing it off. It dulled down a bit but not enough.
Being very careful I tore Charlotte from the background, adhered a book page to Kraft card then placed the torn Charlotte to one side to cover more grunge. Whew crisis averted.
Thank you for looking, I hope you get a chance to join in.
