Purple Card

I made this using the beautiful Scraps of Elegance August kit Mallika's Whimsy.

I painted some areas with a combination of green and brown watercolors. I took a purple gelato and rubbed it on some of the texture paste letters, after they were dry.  I wasnt happy with the hard edges of the gelatos, so I misted lightly all over with water.  Things were looking a little muddy, so I dried everything, and sponged on some gesso. I put the flowers on and kept working on the background. I rubbed on gold, and silver mica powders on the stenciled words.
