Stef's IC to use something from the Green Rainbow site led me to choose this owl pillow for the colors: http://www.greenrainbowshop.com/mm5/...eco-home_decor. I also wanted to pay tribute to Cathleen (ctorina) who is the Queen for a Day featured stamper this week. Her gallery is so amazing and I put her cards in my faves quite often! I loved her card here: THT025 Count Your Blessings by ctorina at Splitcoaststampers - for the florals in one corner and the large scallops. I changed colors, put the ribbon in a different location & changed the sentiment shape/location. This is the first time I played with the rose (embossed with white EP on white CS) image. I then sprayed it heavily with water and dipped a brush into turquoise and summer sun reinkers, touching the tip of the brush in the 'puddles' of water on the image. It was so much fun and it's one of those techniques that will never have 2 of the same kind of results. This is also qualifies for ODBD's Shining Light Challenge to create a Mother's Day card/project. Hope you're enjoying your w/e...tfl!
