Surprise...it's me, and the card does not look like an explosion in a neon paint factory. It was supposed to be just black and white, but then I began to twitch and shake, so I had to add a few colorful dots. Between work and errands demanding my time, I was not going to make a card today. Just like when you are only going to taste that cheese cake, and the next thing you know half of it is gone, I just checked the challenges...........
I used the wonderful MISTI ( a gift from an extra special friend) to position all the Tim Holtz borders around the card. I also positioned the jar and flowers, then stamped and heat embossed. The stems are drawn with white fel pen. I added dots and leaves. The flower is for the TLC541, to use something recycled from another card. TFL, Francie

This is very cool...love the b/w but those colored dots...well they really make this special! I also think the b/w flower in the corner is awesome! You got a MISTI?? Is it everything they say...do I need one?? Inquiring minds want to know... ;)

I am glad you didn't stop with the black and white. That is one of the things I like about your cards....striking colors. I also love your doodling. This one is super duper.

What a fun card Francie!! I love all your work with the white gel pen. You are so funny. I was thinking about you this weekend while watching Tim Holtz you tube videos. All of this stuff is so addicting. :>)

OMG, this is SO fun! I'm so glad you added the color - it wouldn't be a Francie card otherwise! I also love the way you connected the borders and created this adorable image from so many different sets!
