I made this card for today's Technique Challenge - to use the marble technique to create a background for our card.
What a quick and easy way to make a unique background - once you locate some marbles, that is! I used 8 marbles and three reinkers - Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette and Kiwi Kiss. I stamped my image by coloring the stamp with markers I made from Fantastix and reinkers and huffing. Cut the sentiment ovals with Petite Oval Nesties. Added pink ribbon and brads to finish it.
Thanks, Lynn, for another fun technique to try and TFL!

Wish I would have had more marble things, cause your bg using 8 marbles is gorgeous. Using just two, didn' t quite cut it. What a lovely card Carla. Super job. TFS :0)
