Using encaustic art card, the background was sponged with Distress inks, then the honesty seed pods were stamped in black and clear-embossed. I was thus able to remove the colour from them using a damp paintbrush without the water overflowing on to the rest of the background. I did the same for the campion flower near the centre, but having removed the background colour I then painted the flower with Distress inks. The remaining elements were simply stamped with Versamagic inks.
The picture was mounted on to an 8" x 8" card from Craftwork Cards, from where also came the background paper and the butterfly greeting. The butterfly was coloured with a Promarker. All stamps are Elusive Images from Graphicus, except for the trees in the background. The tiny fir trees are by Stampscapes, and the other tree is from Lavinia Stamps.

Beautiful! It looks great on the big square card. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the punches we bought today x
This is just beautiful, Lynne. I've had a closer look to see exactly what you've done and love the effect. It looks like a wintery landscape to me.
Hope you're having a good weekend.

Super card, interesting that you have achieved a similar finish to what can be achieved with bleach,so guess the background card was white. Very nice anyway.

This is so beautiful and very very clever how you did it. I love the softness of the colours and the honestly seed heads look real.
Brilliant
