My card is being submitted for two challenges, TLC592 and CC589. I wanted to participate in the Technique Lovers Challenge, TLC592, using Karen's tutorial; however, three tries went swirling into the trash can. I didn't want to give up, so I decided to try something else to get a marbled look. I swiped the SU inks onto a craft mat and spritzed water and Pearl Glimmer Mist onto the inks. I then swiped the watercolor card stock through the inks. The Glimmer Mist lightened the colors, but I like the outcome. Hopefully the card will qualify for TLC592.
As for the color challenge, I used the three colors of ink and card stock. I die cut the Island Indigo center piece, stamped it with Elegant Eggplant (looks black), and adhered my sentiment to it. I added a piece of Elegant Eggplant ribbon onto the card that runs behind this center piece.
Thanks for viewing and leaving comments!

how great to see you in the gallery this evening, Ms. Bev. Your presence gives me a sense of comfort in knowing we were both doing the same thing today. Perfect challenge colors, my friend. Love the ornate dies and your technique. Like you, I'm really pleased with the end result. Great work on this.

Ooh, so pretty Bev!! Love the bg you made to die cut your frame! Great success...I actually do that technique a lot...spray or tap color on, mist it and dunk the paper!! It is one of my favorites...adding shimmer is icing on the cake! Love those dies too, heehee!! Lovely card!
