Making backgrounds

Ive been using my splodgeAway mat to make some backgrounds for cards, i inked up some stamps with versamark and then embossed with white embossing powder, i then painted the flowers with distres inks and also added a few drops from the reinkers to the white space, i then spritzed with water before dabbing and drying, i do quite like the effect, then i over stamped with a small inkadinkadoo butterfly stamp, a few pearls, stickles and layers of bazzill later and viola a card was created!

ship ahoy

I think im now on a roll with my magnolias, its like buses none for ages then they all come at once!

Coloured with distress inks using the new splodge away mat, every layer has been stickled and edges distressed with walnut stain, apart from the bazzill the only patterned paper ive used is a cloud one by WMK. the mesh is again from the pack mentioned in Saturdays post (from suzicraft) all the embellishments are cut from the cricut dress up dolls cartridge.
Sorry about the poor pic it was taken on my iphone.
