Grateful for You

Hi and welcome to one more post for Concord and 9th's challenge, Anything Goes.

You know how you visit one friend who leads you to another, and another...

Well that happened to me and I ended up finding a friend hop where there are prizes 

being given for comments, and I ran across a favorite, Jessica Frost Ballas.

(By the way, there are many favorites on the list!)

Just had to try a series of techniques I learned while visiting Jessica's blog.

The spray of fall florals is a stamp called Grateful For Everything, (C9).

Sentiment is from their Grateful Dies set.

Here's a short version of Jessica's steps: (she explains in detail)

smoosh colors on watercolor cardstock.

I used Distress Inks: Mustard Seed, Candied Apple, Ripe Persimmon

Using my Misti, stamped the image in Hero Arts' Wet Cement, for a no line

watercolor look.

Then I colored the image loosely with copics.

Back into the Misti, which still had the image in place, and stamped with Versamark.

Like Jessica, I sprinkled on Gold Embossing Tinsel. 

I added some Stickles and my die cut sentiment, and mounted onto a 

black card base.

I LOVE this technique, and can't wait to do more with it.
