Inky Background Card

Today I was inspired by a challenge I found on -Simon Says Stamp, which is...Challenge: Inky background. (my entry is #72!) This technique was achieved by putting Distress Inks on parchment paper and misting with water, followed by dipping a piece of watercolor paper into the ink. Love the effect!  Then used Distress markers directly on my flower image to stamp on top. 

This is a new technique for me (new stamp set as well!).  I have watched many YouTube videos of this technique and finally decided to try it for myself.  Love Distress Markers...I messed up in the corner, but used extra water to create grass and cover up my mistake. 
Also entered this card into -Fab 'n' Funky Challenges:  Entry #85  Something New. -The Crafter's Cafe: KISS Card (Keep It Simple Stamper) Entry #31
