STAMPS: Penny Black Solitaire, Wonder, and Script Text, Swirl Border
On white bristol smooth paper, cut 4 1/4" square, I used my makeup brushes to apply distress ink in sage green along the bottom right, and one of the browns along the edges. Next, I stamped the script and border swirl lightly. 
I stamped the Solitaire image, using my Misti. I like the Misti for adding shading and colors to my solid images like this one. I added light colors first, gradually adding darker, and finally the darkest for shading and realism. I used mini distress ink cubes.I am adding my card to these challenges:
Crafty Creations - Anything goes
