Making messy backgrounds and figuring out what to do with them is one of my favorite things to do, so this weeks F4A challenge is perfect. Even though there is some purple and blue in this card, it still felt warm to me, so I used it for the WTchallenge (I am in drought stricken calif - soon I will be making cards of dead gardens due to lack of rain). I dropped reinkers and sponged distress inks all ovet white cardstock and then stsmped a bwckground stamp. I did have to highlight with a gel pen to make the stamp show up better.

LOVE your card for the 2 challenges. The vibrant colors and complex design really make it stand out in the gallery. Hope you get some gentle, soaking rains soon.

LOL at the making cards of dead gardens! Actually, I was even hearing about your drought over here, so it must truly be bad. Another beauty - and definitely this says WARM to me. I love the added white highlights, they really add extra depth to an already beautiful image panel.
