Sun for Jo

Sun for Jo!

Jo's on a cruise and threw us the challenge to make a Sun Piece to commemorate her journey.

For the background I used distress inks. I use a makeup sponge to apply it and get this look.

On a side note, for the life of me it forever to find the name of this tangle.  I'm guessing after the hours of searching, it'll be stuck in my brain for all of eternity.
