I've used Picked Raspberry and Salty Ocean for the background - a technique I learnt during Tim's Creative Chemistry 101 course that I took earlier in the year. Originally I thought it would end up being a birthday card but the sentiment that I wanted to use was just a little bit too big. I wish the sentiment that I ended up using was just a bit bigger because it has become a little 'lost'.
I made the card base from watercolour paper because I wanted the panel to match the base. It wasn't until about 20 minutes ago that I realised that I have completely covered it with ink and you wouldn't be able to tell what colour it was to begin with. Der!!!! I think I need a holiday. It's hard to see, but I have actually scored a border all around the focal panel, just to add a bit of extra interest.
The image is from Tim's Nature's Moments stamp set and the sentiment is from SU's Teeny Tiny Sentiments. Both have been stamped using Archival Black ink.
Don't forget to check out what the rest of the Design Team have designed for this challenge. Lots of beautiful things to see!
Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Jo this is such a stunning effect! You've created a really lovely card. I think I need to do this class myself - thanks for the reminder!
Love the colours Jo and that unique mottled background effect. That combined with the black image makes for a striking contrast. xxx
