Walnut ink background - Created by Hand

The theme for Created by Hand this week is to use a background made with walnut ink.
Here are 2 examples of the walnut ink background. I misted the watercolor paper with water, sprayed on walnut ink, sprinkled on some brown distress embossing powder and some gold embossing powder. On the 4x4 I used a flake gold. On the moo I used fine gold.
