Today's inspiration site was totally overwhelming for me. So I decided I would combine with Kim's Mini VSN challenge. I needed a get well card for a coworker who broke her hip and I decided that I would use Winnifred Whale for it. So I went to the inspiration site and found this framed seaglass to inspire my colors. I pulled out my reinkers and then had to hunt for some marbles. Marbles are hard to come by in my house. My Desmond swallowed one while my mom was watching him. She called 911. It was a whole ordeal and now marbles aren't allowed in my house. BUT there are marbles in the Hungry Hungry Hippos game....
So I made my rolled marble background using Umbrella Crafts Aqua, Mint, and Sunbeam. The Sunbeam turned out pretty harsh, so I sponged over the panel with DOX Broken China to soften it up. Then I figured since it was a watery card, I sprayed and splattered it with water. Now you can hardly tell it was a rolled marble background, but it was and I think it came out pretty cool. Quite an adventure this morning and it all happened in 48 minutes.

I love that whale with the cute smile. And, your background looks great. So happy your Desmond was o.k. with that marble episode...scary.

Beautiful watery depths with that mix of blues & green . A "punny" sentiment is always sure to pep up someone's spirits when they are laid up.
