I'm not sure this card will qualify for the challenge as I used a variation of the technique Sabrina demonstrated for the challenge.
I learned this from Loll Thompson. It's another way to use the paper towel that you've mopped up your craft sheet with.
You save your paper towel after mopping up ink or paint like Brushos, dry it out, then lay it over watercolour or mixed media paper, spray with water, and press down with your fingers. You end up with a great background that shows the design of the paper towel - it looks textured as if you'd used a stencil.
I added a bit of text stamping in Memento Sweet Plum, and a darker sentiment in Memento Elderberry, then trimmed the panel down.
I die cut the TH Wildflower die twice, glued it together for more dimension and layered it on top.

Oh Susan this is just gorgeous, I've also used scratch / scrap paper that has been used to mop up ink / paint as background paper and it works very well.
