I used a smooshing technique to create the background (which I read about in Making Cards Magazine!) – where you swipe Distress Ink across plastic and spray with water. I could only find cellophane plastic so used this. Then I placed the card onto the ink and press in (smooshing) to make the pattern, drying and repeating as necessary to build up colour. The cellophane in crinkly which made the lines, a happy accident which I love!

I stamped the glasses and accessories, coloured using the Distress ink, blending tool and watercolour brush, then cut out and assemble onto background.
