Our mix today is to use brilliant pastels. I have very melon mambo-e fingers...to say the least. Talk about good therapy. This was a blast and I thank you. I did a layer of melon mambo and bermuda bay (following tutorial) and then a thin, watered down layer of gesso and then some more ink and then splattered willy nilly...white acrylic paint. This will go to one of my dd's bffs for graduation. She adores pink. I think this fits the bill!
I forgot to mention, I dyed the seam binding melon mambo, too.

What a great card and what a great sentiment! The colors work together so beautifully and I love your vintage-y embellishments!

Awesome! I love the intensity of color (and my fingers were well-dyed too!), and how you went all willy-nilly on me! (LOL) I am sure your daughter's bff will love it. Thank you so much for playing my challenge!
