This is my entry for the TLC181 challenge. This was more of a challenge since I have not yet gotten re-inkers. Tried to useRadiant Rain in olive vine color. Hum, not quite the result expected. So I dipped my paintbrush in my stazon midnight blue ink pad and this is the result. I used the music part of my "Sweet bird" stamp as flourish and covered the beek with what else...blue gems! I guess I will have to slow down on the half-pearls and gems I've been getting left and right and maybe, just maybe think of stocking up on re-inkers. But you know gems are much more attractive to look at in the scrap store. LOL
They did save my card though!
Corryn loved it too. She laughed at my despair, but not for long.HA!
Enjoy and thanks for looking!

Ha! you do make me laugh Pegg!!!! I totally agree with you on this!!!! If given a choice of re-inkers or gems, I'll go for the gems every time. I don't have re-inkers either. I, like you it seems, am not a practical girl when it comes to bling. Your card is beautiful and I very much like how you got over the no re-inker problems!!! Very creative. As you no I managed to find an opaque pen... what luck!! Hugs,

I love the RED, white and blue, and all the gems!! (They are more fun to buy than the reinkers!!!)

This is gorgeous! I lvoe the coloring on the flower and the gems really add a great touch. I'm with you on the re-inkers, only have two, so I will definitely have to order more!
