Funky Weeds

Photo Details

Poster: Beate

When I read the Color combo for today, I knew it would be hard for me. Razzleberry is just not my thing. I decided to see how that combo would look as an Alcohol ink background. I thought it worked, although I had a hard time finishing the card up. It's still not quite right, but I gave up. This is what it will have to be.

Thanks for looking! Hugs and smiles

I think you can comfortably "settle" with this BEAUTY!!~ I wanted to tell you, I only stalk the challenges so I can play, not so I can be first up! I am first up so I can SLEEP....cuz if I don't do them at night, I don't do them. I won't leave work today till after 6:00, so it's early after they come up or never if I want to be in on the fun! Then when I'm on hold with insurance companies I leave a comment or two. (shhhh......) LOL. I LOVE YOUR CARD!!!!!!!! IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

The alcohol background is fantastic! Your bow is just terrific, and the little gold dots on the sentiment panel are a great finishing touch. Super job on this one!

I also have to say I was amused by the title you gave this card. ;)

This is so rich and beautiful! I love the way you used today's colors and the silhouettes on the Razzleberry. Very striking!
