Christening Day

 Blue Ribbon #5

I made a really happy discovery with the background on this card . . . 

Very simply, I painted the area with Distress Stain and went over the color with my waterbrush.  It was easy to get a mottled look which I enhanced by adding some water drops and then blotting.  Lovely soft results . . . so easy!
