This was for the VSN mini on Friday, that I finally had a chance to sit down and do.
It had to use a salted BG...this is the first time I tried this...and after 2 attempts I actually had to go to the Gallery to see if everyone's was as yukky as mine...
THen I realized that once you put some things on it they are really beautiful! Check out the rest of the gallery...some of the underwater ones are fabulous...this technique lends itself to that for sure. I went on to put the rest of the card together, just barely under the deadline of 45 minutes...(I even think I'm going to turn the other piece of paper into a card..it's suede and bermuda blue with swirls of the pink)
This used the new In Colour reinkers...Razzleberry, Mambo and a bit of Crushed Curry.
Thanks Astrid for getting us to try something new!

WOWEE....for having a "yuckee" background, I sure think that it turned out to be gorgeous! I love how the image and the "swirly" stamped piece and background all work together so well.
Thanks for playing along....I'm glad you did.
