Hello! Welcome back to Mixed Media Card Week!

Summary Process

For this card I again used the Tim Holtz "Wrinkle-Free Distress" technique, although this time used DecoArt Media Mister sprays in place of Distress Inks.

 

I love the vibrancy of the colours and the fact that they are permanent once dry.
 
Prior to adding the colour to my background I used clear embossing powder with a "mini squares" stencil to create resist areas.
      
Check out the other posts from this weeks series where I cover other techniques and ideas.
