Default NOV09VSNM~SATURDAY, NOV. 14, 2009~9 pm EST~WHODUNNIT~The CASE of the Blurred Vision

Title: "The CASE of the Blurred Vision"
Hostess: Cobi~lilorangemouse~
Keyword: NOV09VSNM
Day/Date: Saturday, November 14th, 2009
Time: 9:00 PM (EST)


It's nearing the end of the night now and WOW, what a party this has been! The costumes, the decorations, the food, the dancing - it has all created a bit of sensory overload! Oh, the drinks might have had something to do with that! Is anyone else seeing things a little blurry by now?


< Who spiked the punch? >



Ah, sometimes things looked better a bit blurry! So, grab another drink and make yourself a card using the Blurred Vision Watercoloring Technique! But, there's another catch - your card must also CASE one of the cards in the Blurred Vision Watercoloring Gallery. Now be careful, cuz some of the cards in that gallery don't actually use the blurred vision technique. But, you must you use the technique on your card.


Be sure to add a link to the card you CASEd!


Just a note: I do not recommend using SU! Whisper White or Very Vanilla for this challenge. The ultrasmooth finish on those cardstocks allows the ink to dry too quickly, not allowing the ink to "blur."


Have fun! I can't wait to see what you come up with!


Don't forget to post here to enter to win a Scor-Pal!

My card doesn't look blurry, but it really is. Maybe just squint a bit when you look at it? Will that help? Blurry Snowflake

Ditto that. I have not been able to be on-line as much as I wanted to. Too many long hours at work. Also had new windows put in the house (mobile home). Meant moving furniture away from walls. My bedroom and the craft room I had just got to where I wanted it, is total chaos. Have to work on getting them back together tomorrow. Baby shower today for my niece..she is having twins.

Oh - I don't know how I would have done twins if I had had a toddler running around! But, she will enjoy the twins, no doubt! If I had more, I would want twins again! And if they come early, well, it's just easier to give birth to smaller babies!

Lucky you, to be great aunty!

Notice the font in the challenge write up was extra big. Helps to have big font when seeing blurry!

Just finished this one. On my way to upload it. I'm seeing blurry and I don't drink!
Did have a chocolate truffle earlier (yum!).

D'oh! I forgot to CASE a card! *lol* I had looked at this challenge last night, picked out *this* card, and totally forgot about it when I made my card today! *lol*

Keep Calm Cupcake

And yeah, my blur doesn't seem as pronounced. I think I shoulda used some watercolour paper instead, but the kind I have isn't the greatest quality.

Thanks for this challenge, Cobi!
