Distressed Willow

100_3044

I don’t like this card very much.  I wondered if I should post this but decided too anyway.  I got a little carried away with the distressing.  I first put the ink around the image and I liked that a lot.  So I started inking up the edges of the other paper and got a little carried away. You can’t even hardly see the DP.  Oh well.  I was so happy with how my painting turned out and then the card stinks.  I think I’ll carefully pull it apart and start over using the same DP.  It is very pretty but you can’t see it here!!!

I’ve been working a lot on my water coloring technique and I really like how this one came out.  It has more highlights and lowlights than I usually have.  The DP (that you can hardly see) is from the DCWV Old World stack.  I used the sketch from Inspirational Card Sketches.

Blessings,

Christine
