Well now that Dancing with the Stars is over, maybe I'll get to try a few more technique challenges! So for TLC197, Speckled Background, I didn't have quite the supplies. I was back in town to pick up DD from dance and popped into Dollar Tree where I grabbed some spray cleaner with reference to "Green", knowing it probably is not the same as Simple Green. I used a brayer but not a sponge brayer to apply the ink to the glossy white paper, so there isn't much variation in the ink colors. Spritzed the cleaner on, allowed to dry, then heat embossed the snowflake in white. I am always layout-challenged, so I fussed around forever, but the snowflake looks cool, so I didn't care that the layout is odd and I don't have ANY white or blue ribbon that looked right. TFL

I think it turned out beautiful... I love the blue and white and your background is sooo pretty with the embossed white snowflake. The CB embossed snowflakes are perfect... I love it...
