I struggled mightily with this particular challenge. All of my crackle paints had to be thinned so I could use them; then I couldn't find a piece of grungeboard that I wanted. So I started all over this morning with a wrinkle-free watercolor distress tag as my base (Dusty Concord and Broken China Distress inks with Vintage Photo on the edges). The grungeboard wings and heart were painted with Dusty Concord crackle paint and edged with gold. Although I followed Tim's directions, the 'distressing' didn't seem to work well. Stamp is one of Tim's and the flower is from Prima. A hanging basket of vinca was the perfect summer background.
BUT....that's not all! My fabulous drawing prize arrived from Linda yesterday! What a haul of Tim's stuff! The card is one of Linda's fabulous creations...heavy and dimensional and loaded with wonderful details! (click for a closer view)
Thank you, Linda!
