What I did

I began with a piece of mount board measuring 8x8 inches, (with hind sight I should have used a That's Crafty! 8x8 inch MDF chunkie :( ). I glued down bits of ripped up pages from an old book I'm recycling and then added the paints as shown after a thin coat of white gesso. I used Melina's new stamps and white embossing powder for the background flowers and grasses. I then stamped Donna's rabbit and tree on tissue paper and coloured the leaves with white gesso on the reverse and adhered using PVA glue, this gives a seamless look and the images look like they were stamped directly on to the background, this is a useful technique when you don't have a smooth background to stamp on to. A little lace and some paper flowers from my stash add texture, and Wycinanka chipboard and That's Crafty! greyboard add more details and texture in contrasting colours to the background. Finally some glitter glue and frost spray add some lovely shimmer and paint splats add that arty feel.
