Thank you so much, Claire! It’s always a huge compliment when another artist likes your work. I tried to add a comment thanking you, but for some reason I couldn’t. That’s OK, I do appreciate your shout out.

Thanks for hosting, Amy. This was fun. Used a freebie from Foxey Squirrel.

I used all joyful heart design goodies. On a white background I added joyfulheartdesigns-paperpalooza1-paperpiece3 then desaturated it and used exclusion blend mode to add the right amount of grunge. Also used: most of joyfulheartdesigns-colorcrush69-stampsandstuff...

For this artsy challenge, you had to create a fused background. I used all joyful heart design goodies. On a white background I added joyfulheartdesigns-paperpalooza1-paperpiece3 then desaturated it and used exclusion blend mode to add the right amount of grunge. Thanks for looking.
