This is the third card using the same technique as the "Imagine Card". Love this background. The other card "Explore" is from the same piece of cardstock background.

I used a a white 65# cardstock and swiped colors randomly and abstractly over the surface using the Pan Pastel sponges (Hansa Yellow, Yellow Ochre, Violet, Turquoise, Phthalo Green and Streaks of Permanent Red). I then used the square edge of an eraser to make my little box shapes and the lines. I tilted the cardstock up side down and using a very soft brush to flick the eraser bits away. I rubber stamped the words with Adirondack Rainbow Dye stamp pad. Then used Krylon Workable Fixative to set my pastels. Rounded the corners on all cardstocks using a Corner Adorner punch. Mounted it to a piece of bright red cardstock then onto a pale green cardstock. Added a bunch of fibers and a couple charms (Key charm and Birthday charm)

Stamps used: Imagine & Mystery (Roann Mathias available through The Stamping Studio), Wonder (Just Jhones Attic Treasures set), Adventure (Heidi Grace Cherry Wood Ln set), and Journey Quietfire Design)

Note I sprayed with Krylon workable fixative.
