I started off with the idea of creating a gray background for my white and possibly blue die cuts. I smacked the Memento ink on a craft mat, sprinkled with black Brushos then tapped Bristol paper in the watery ink. I tried two different versions and didn't care for either background so I smacked Broken China Distress Oxide ink on the mat and spritzed it with water then tapped one of the gray backgrounds in the bright blue ink. I am happy with how it turned out. The Brusho powder adds interest to the blue background with powder speckles! Since the background is blue instead of gray, I added just white die cuts and framed the background in gray to mimic the photo.
The sentiment is from MFP which sadly has closed its doors.
We hope you will join us for the IC challenge!

Love white silhouetting...creates such a crisp and clean look to a card. Your gray and blues are great together as framing and your smacked watercolor background is so pretty with the grays and blues...ties everything together perfectly!

Fabulous! Awesome design and beautifully inspired. Love the background; so interesting to read how you created it. The die-cuts in white stand out nicely next to the background and gray frame. The sentiment font looks terrific on this card. Great card! TFS
