Here's What I Did: (be it some was created a while back)

In my box I found the painty brayered background which was made using Dylusions paints. To get the blended look I brayer down each colour individually, working quickly so that I can blend one colour into the other rather that it drying first as that way the paint lays on top of each other rather than a the blended effect I think I have achieved. Dylusions paint works well for this as I have found it to be more slow drying than some of the other paints I like to use. I then stencilled through a complete stencil design using black texture paste. I then matted the background piece onto black cardstock.

I then took one of That's Crafty! greyboard large funky flowers and painted it, again using Dylusions paints. Once dry I covered it with matte medium as I wanted a matte finish to it to match the matte finish of the stencilling. I felt it needed a little something more so over stamped the flower with a script stamp from one of the That's Crafty! texture stamp sets using a Stazon ink pad.

 I then fixed the flower to the stencilled background. A Tim Holtz chit chat sticker finishes it off once I had mounted it onto an 8" x 8" card blank.

What would we do without our UFO stash? It's times like this that that makes you appreciate the fact that all us crafters don't throw anything away.
