For my card I have used the wonderful new stamp called Indra. It is a beautiful stamp. I stamped Indra with Glamourous Versafine Clair. For the background I used aqua pens, I brushed a variety of pinks and a lavender colour across the card the used a wide brush with damped with water and brushed across card the blend them together. I then used green in the same way for the grass area.
