I've recently taken part in a card swap for which I had to make 8 cards, and here is the first of them. I recently bought a pack of 5 rolls of number themed adhesive paper tape and used a strip of one of them on this card. As for the main panel, I wanted the background to look quite "painterly", so after stamping the main figure I used a small artists paintbrush to paint a mixture of Wild Honey distress ink and water as the background. The small brush left lots of brush stroke patterns behind, which was just what I was hoping for. Once it was dry, I used an ink blending too with Barn Door distress ink around the edges of the panel. The figure was stamped with Versafine ink and painted with distress inks and water.
Next card tomorrow! :)

Great card, Dan! I love your "painted" background! The shading around the guy is awesome. You can't go wrong with tape measure paper/ribbon/tape! :)
