Unity- Friends with Flair

It is Friday and time for Friends with Flair.                       

  I tried something new "to me" for this weeks post.  I used Distress ink to make the background for my image.  I used tumbled glass and peeled paint.  I touched the ink pad to my Ranger matte and spritzed with water, then layed my watercolor paper in inky area and lifted.  This is what I got, which I think looks like the grass and sky (which is what I wanted).  I stamped mailbox image and colored with pens and markers.  I cut a flag from Spellbinders pendants and flag die set and stamped sentiment and added three dots of liquid pearl. The background paper is DCWV.  I added a little green for St. Patrick's Day.

Sending my love, Unity; Labels 11, Flag, Spellbinders
scallop border, Fiskars, paper, DCWV

Enjoy your weeked.  Send some love my way by leaving me a comment.
