Thinking Of You Card With Distress Stains

Here is the card I made to attend Mandy's Facebook June Challenge as well as Tim Holtz Summer of Creative Chemistry week 2 challenge. Below is the challenge photo of Summer of Creative Chemistry:

Here is the card I made for this challenge:

I applied Distress Stains - dusty concord, broken china, spun sugar, cracked pistachio, and picket fence (in between each color) on the craft sheet and mist them with water. Then, I put a piece of white cardstock to make the background. Let it dry completely. I stamped the model from Runway stamp set and colored with Copic markers. I brushed the clear Wink of the Stella pen on the dress to make it shiny. I also stamped the Paris stamp (from Tim Holtz Cityscapes stamp set) with light grey on the background. Stamped the greeting "thinking of you" at the bottom of the card. Attached the girl with foam tapes on the right-hand side of the card. Below is another look of the card:
