I used the Spritz and Flick technique (<a href="http://www.patstamps.com/">TJNL</a>) and Shabby Shutters <a href="http://www.artisticoutpost.com/catalog/i17.html">Distress Ink </a>to create the background. The images are stamped in black stazon, then colored using my aquapainter with Peeled Paint and Concord Grape Distress Inks. I stacked my artichoke grosgrain on my twill and wrapped it around my card. This panel is layered on black, celery and then my eggplant base.Lisa Somervillehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09517399998676960396noreply@blogger.com
