Here's my card for the color challenge today.  Vanilla, Kiwi Kiss & Baja Breeze.  I actually ended up using Distress Faded Jeans 7 Shabby Shutter because the inks blended better than classic ink did.  First, the vanilla cardstock was stamped  using Ranger Clear Resist ink.  I used 3 stamps for the background, How do I love thee text was stamped in opposite corners and then the other 2 corners with a floral and fern background.  The 2 distress inks were swiped on a craft sheet, misted with water until the ink beaded up and then the cardstock was layed in the puddles to pick up ink.  I repeated this several times and ironed in between to dry the paper.  The main image panel was done the same way with the Baroque Background stamped in clear resist.  The bird on branch is stamped in Versafine Onyx Black and I used an aqua painter to waterolor the bird.  The edges were sponged with Faded jeans.
