Deedee's Digi of the Month Challenge

I wanted to share with you a card I made for another monthly progressive challenge I found over at Deedee's Digis. Such a sweet digi set that you can purchase HERE. Create a project using it and you will receive next month's set free! How fun!! I stamped the background piece using a Simon Says Stamp set from this month's card kit Thinking of You. I used distress inks and watercolor paper, spraying the paper with water once I was done stamping. My initial plan was to have the entire background be my stamped layer, but the ink puddled when I sprayed it leaving a big blob of muddy color. I cut that portion out and ended up with this strip which I liked much better, just subtle runs of color. Always experimenting but never coming up with the results I want first time around. Guess that's part of the creative process.
