Does drying time count in the hour? I had to set this aside to let it dry before I put on the finishing touch of the silver marker border and assembled. Then my kids got up and I forgot about it, so I'm not really sure how long this one took. Anyway, here is my card for Ann's challenge to stamp the same image 3-7 times. I went with the ornament in all three of Pam's color challenge colors. After I did the stamping and embossing, I sponged in the green background. Then I took a pine branch stamp and inked it up with the greens and filled in some brown with a Crayola marker. I spritzed it with water--which always scares me that I'm going to ruin my card. And it looked so good! But then I did it a second and third time (one branch for each ornament) and ended up with a muddled up mess in the middle. So I inked it up again with no water to give more detail on that middle branch. Finished by splattering some water across it to get a little bit of a bokeh effect. TFL!

Everything about this card is gorgeous! The ornaments are so sparkly and pretty and I love the background-great recovery btw, it turned out great. The sentiment is lovely as is the silver border. Love the long and skinny shape too!
