Thank You in Grunge

Some snow day stamping...  There's a new challenge on Splitcoaststampers, Mix-Ability.  Each Friday we get to get our feet wet with mixed media projects.  I'm jumping in with the second challenge, Hard to Resist.  The first suggestion was to use emboss resist, but I opted to try acrylic resist.

For this, I used flat white acrylic paint, so it didn't quite resist the ink as expected; maybe that shimmer factor in the paint is necessary.  Still kinda funky look, so I kept sponging more colors to get something I liked.  I also used white acrylic paint for the chalkboard-type sentiment.  That stamp (don't you love it?) is from the Dude, You're Welcome kit.

I wanted to turn this card a little feminine, so I added the Eastern Blooms branch, but used some grungy flowers.  They were punched out of a spare faux mother of pearl scrap I had, which has already been sponged with Cajun Craze ink.
