this is for the FEB10VSNC challenge - using the rolling marble technique. this is my first time using the technique and i have to await the judges' decision; hopefully, i'm not DQ - i have no marbles, so i used half round glass pebbles.

Wow! This turned out really nice. I love how the marbled background turned out and how you repeated the effect with the embossing and wildflowers. Wow!

Wow!! This is a really beautiful card. The butterfly at the top adds the perfect touch.

This was my first time with this technique, too!!! Luckily, I was able to scoop out a handful of marbles from an old jar full I keep as a bookend. I love the effect you achieved with your half-round glass pebbles. Perfect for a sky background!! I had fun trying this technique and know I'll use it again (want me to send you some marbles???)

Hey, the pebbles worked perfectly! I just love how your marbled technique turned out and really love how you used it in your sketch. Wahoo, and plus you encouraged me to try a new technique! Yeah!
It was so fun to case your card, Linda. Thank you! Could you PM me with your snail mail address please? Happy day to you!
