An 'arty' style background

This is my page for the Sketchy Thursdays guest DT challenge this month. I really had fun with the background on this one. I used lots of texture paste, spray inks, acryllic paint and mesh to make my own 'arty' style background. There really are no rules to this - except use enough texture paste to stick on the mesh. I made the dandelion clocks by generously applying texture paste to a crafters workshop template and waiting for it to harden before removing the template. My papers are Crate Paper and Studio Callico and the chippie kite is from Scrapware (all available at Scotty Craft).
The design of my page is based on the Sketchy Thursdays GDT sketch and the theme "Gratitiude" also comes directly from their challenge.
