I'm posting early cuz I will have a lot of work to do tomorrow after being snowbound for 2 days.
This is for the TSC challenge where we were to make our own bg and use black and white with a TAD of purple or lavendar for the colors. We also had to use ribbon and have a bow.
I made my bg by stamping a Verve flourish with Stazon Jet Black ink onto white cs. I mounted this onlo black cs. The verse is also Verve. I stamped, cut out with nesties and sponged around it with purple ink. I added a black half pearl.
I think I FINALLY mastered the Bow Easy!!! YAY! I made a three loop bow and placed a purple prima with a white half pearl in the center.
I like how this turned out.
What do you think?

Three Loops!!!! SHOW OFF!!!! What's Bow Easy? All I can do is tie knots! Love the background you stamped and your sentiment panel is perfect! What's it like to be snow bound? I grew up in Germany and we had snow A LOT; but that was years ago and I miss it something awefull.

Lesley, I struggled so with these colors, and to look at this makes me wonder where the struggle came from! This is gorgeous. I tried to do your bg, because I *love * that stamp, but it was not to be! Your work here is outstanding, and I love the verse. (and have heard this whispered in hard times...) Beautiful sis. LYMI
