This was going to be a quick card for the CAS285 challenge. Thanks to the sweetest PM from one of the nicest people I know, Becky, I was reminded about a technique that I have only tried a few times...one syroke painting. Things were going just fine and I was almost done with my roses and leaves, when the elbow incident hsppened. In addition to my elbow, it also involved lavender paint (" lavender? You ask. She wasn't even using lavender. I have been asking myself the same question). Well, this resulted in having to fussy cut the roses and attach them to a new card. In normal situstions, I would not combine one stroke painting and fussy cutting. Then I watercolored the bkg because the roses just didn't look right fussy cut. I also added some shading with prisma pencils...how is that for a weird combination- acrylics, water color and prisma pencils. I stamped the word "love" and drew a border and stopped before I made any more goofs. Some say that necessity is the mother of invention. I would and that blobs, smudges and spills are the mother of creativity. TFL, Francie
