SPREAD the MAGIC - Handmade card using Crafter's Companion Harmony Inks, Sheena Douglas die, Donna Ratcliff stamps

I'm not sure I'll ever get out of this chair now that I have more Crafter's Companion supplies.  I started off making a background for a Halloween project but I saw the fox stamp in Donna Ratcliff's stamp set "New Magic" and it just yelled ... "my tree" ... so ..

Loving all the glorious color.

Here's a few photos of the progress of ink for the background:

Using different size circles cut from scrap paper I "masked" off as I applied the yellows

Added some oranges and purples

Some of the darker brick red (Bordeaux)

Quck SPLASH of water squirted from a spray bottle

After the water dried the colors were more muted but the water distress was gorgeous

I went back over the inks with more ink to revive the deep yellows and purples 

Some added Bordeaux ink and it's taking shape
