It's been raining and dreary for some time where I live and I suppose the gloomy feeling of the weather carried over to my card with it's dark colors. I sponged some Wilted Violet and Salty Ocean distress oxide inks on a piece of water color paper, then spritzed it with water. After it dried I used some MFT fishtail banner dies to cut the 2 panels. The sentiment and birds were done with I.O. dies and I added some tiny Nuvo black drops to add contrast.
I'm sliding in just hours before the challenge closes over at the MFTWSC346 where I used the following sketch to make my card...
EDIT: Something's gone wrong with the MFT website and the link no longer works and apparently the sketch has been taken down too :(
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll dance in spite of the rain :)

Oh, wait a minute aren't we in UK supposed to get the gloomy weather? lol... anyway your card is anything but gloomy, love the DOX background and deep colour especially matted onto black x
That is a great design! Love the blue and purple.
VERY pretty! Love the color combo of the background.
Hope y'all don't float away up there. Of course I guess it's better than drying up and blowing away. Stay dry!

I love the colors on the water colored background. They look gorgeous together. This is a wonderful card design with the white birds and the die cut hugs sentiment.
Great design Carol! This weather has been gloomy hasn't it. (I told Jim maybe we need to start building a boat...Just by looking at all the water/mud in our backyard!)
Great background. Love the colours. I found a pack of 4 TH distressed ink pads, the small ones, so hope to do a tag after our outing today....or tomorrow.. hubbys 67th so may go out for dinner and catching up with old buddies today.xx
I don't think this is gloomy, it's a beautiful background and the Hugs are perfect in the gap.

Well, I agree we had some really gloomy weather, but I wasn’t thinking the card was gloomy at all. Maybe watery? Like a pretty pond. I do like the black card base!
I have been very busy, but now I'm going to comment on all my friend's posts :)
Also here in Italy it's cloudy and rainy. Climate Challenges aren't a fake news, they are SO real :(((
But love your colours choice :D the black background makes all the inked purple-blue pop so well, as well the white of sentiment and birds! Great idea using the banner for the design!
Well done!!
I love this, Carol! So cool how you did the sentiment and I really love the watercolored panels with the diecut birds! Absolutely amazing! Great job! :)
