I don't know who this Murphy guy is, but if I find him I'll probably kick him in the shins for having this stupid law. I was almost finished, trying very hard to put this altogether before I lost all daylight. It's a cold and windy day (rained all night as the front came thru), mostly cloudy but occasionally the sun would peek out for a few seconds. So I'm out on the deck w/ my camera and the card. I get it all arranged and snap ONE picture. Immediately, a big gust of wind hits and it starts raining. My card blows off the paper and lands in a puddle (of course). Guess which side is down? Hint, it's same side that would hit the floor if it were a piece of bread w/ peanut butter on one side.
I quick snatch it up and run inside and try to mop up the water. The card lived, but it looks a tad warped on one side and a little of the color ran.
Next, I go inside to my sunny window (if there is sun) and can you believe it? The sun breaks thru. I snap a few more pics and now you can really see the warped side. That stupid Murphy! If the sun had come out first, I wouldn't have been outside in the first place!
Anyway, the bg is embossing resist- I white embossed the images (Inque) and sponged on the 3 ink colors (for the CC challenge). I white embossed the flowers on the b.blue (MSE) and white embossed the edges. The bird is stamped on a white nestie rectangle that I resized (tutorial for this HERE.
I added a punched corner to the upper left and a little stickles here and there. The pumpkin panel was embossed w/ a CB borders folder. TFL and please let me know if you run across this Murphy character!

Awww - your card is BEAUTIFUL though! Sorry for all your troubles. We had that rainy, cold, annoying wind blowing thing down here in Florida all day to - I finally gave up and just took mine indoors : (

The next time Murphy comes my way (which I'm SURE will be SOON), I will tell him you are looking for him!!!!!.....It's gotta be a man, right? LOL!
Your card is smashing, though! I LOVE the embossed resisted bg! Fabulous! I will have to try this....as long as Murphy is preoccupied!!! . The colors are spectacular and your card just jumped right out at me! I LOVE it!
