Becca's Mood Board

I follow Becca Cruger's blog and I absolutely wanted to play in her birthday mood board challenge.

 

My inspiration is from the pillow and the lower right distressed paint photos.

I started with watercolor paper and created a backdrop with some blues. After it dried I added some light green leaf shapes with a stencil and embossing paste.  The flower image panel was roughed up on the edges and crinkled a bit. I stamped some random words from a hero arts stamp set in coordinating colors.  Becca and I exchanged a few supplies recently, and I used a bit of the lace she sent up in the corner.  To anchor it down, I used my beloved purple button, that I have been holding on to FOREVER...it just seemed to me it belongs on the card.  This attempt at mixed media/distress is not my comfort zone at all, but it was a lot of fun trying to mix the simple flower with a rougher style.  Happy Belated Birthday Becca, thanks for the fun challenge.

ETA: Adding this to the  Mixed Media Challenge - Blue.  Thanks Becca for the suggestion.

Thanks for stopping by.
