This was made for the Mix-Ability challenge, Brilliant Pastels. I loved this challenge because I do truly struggle with bright colors and I am always trying to tone them down, lol! I created the background piece by using tim holtz stamps in various bright inks and applying gesso over that. I sponged the edges and also heat embossed with some black. Did a bit of collage style with the stamps and tickets. I really like how this one turned out!
Thanks for taking the time to look!

Clever Cat - stamping instead of just applying ink straight. I love that twist! Your card is so rich in color and texture. I could just lap it up! Thanks so much for playing my challenge!
