Time for my PTI MIM splatters card which I finished after work yesterday, but didn't have time to post. This began with the other background I made using 3 green Zig markers. My blogging friend, Shirley, stamps on her incredible backgrounds with similar colors & I wanted to try it. I need a card for a friend who just lost a furbaby, so wanted something pretty & peaceful. Finally used my PTI Meadow Greens with Distress Inks mowed lawn & peeled paint along with Hero Arts Field Greens. The blossom is heat embossed using Ranger iridescent powder called Enchanted Gold that I've had forever.
