...there is you

I have a full set of distress oxide inks, and I have been waiting for the right stamp to use them. After seeing so many designs online, I realize there simply isn't a wrong stamp to use them with. I just needed to dive in and experiment.

What was originally planned to be a card with a white embossed image, quickly changed after I finished sponging the background and realized I created a landscape scene. I had what looked to be grass and sky, and I quickly knew which stamp I wanted to use. Ironically, this wasn't one I had planned on buying. I liked the image and how it was used without being colored in. I am still learning how to use my alcohol markers and watercolor pencils... so I am shying away from the "color me in" stamps.

I kept the backing from the stamp to use as a mask when I spritzed water onto the card. My first attempt at this design left some larger water droplets either on the girl or between the girl and the background image. Some of these distressed watermarks looked a little peculiar due to their random placement. The second attempt had a more pleasant result.
