It's a good thing I'm still off from work today, because that card took me forever to make! It was fun though. I really enjoyed seeing how each layer reacted with the last. I'm also excited to have used gesso twice this week! I think the hardest part was trying to find an embossing folder that had nice details. I landed on this pretty 3D embossing folder. The alcohol inks I used were fluorescent yellow and pink, and patina. I just recently picked up a box of metallic acrylic paints at Burlington Coat Factory of all places. Otherwise I would have been sad about not having the silver paint that I thought would look beautiful on this. It took me a little while to decide on the framing and the card base. I was going to do a black card base, but I didn't like it, so I decided to stick with the bright colors. I may have overdone the green by grabbing the same color fun foam for the hugs die cut, but I'm not sure you can ever have too much lime green.

Your lime green really works for me! I agree; how can you have too much. :-) I love the combination of bright colours you used. So uplifting on this blah day. I like the way you framed it. I couldn't decide what to do with mine.
