This started off as a CASE, but then it went south kinda fast. So, I took a different route. I was trying to do an ink smooshing BG, but the color was not what I was wanting. I was getting frustrated and tried adding some Navy ink. Then, I just covered the whole thing. Some of the colors underneath still peak through - so that's fun. I have had a small strip of this darker Navy in with my latest pack of Navy paper. I wonder if it is just a difference in batches. I guess I'll find out when I order some more soon...

I like the sky colors you needed up achieving, the embossed palms are such a wonderful contrast! Sometimes it's our failed attempts that turn I to the most lovely results, like this beauty!

Love these white embossed palm trees with the blue gradient background look. (I hear ya on the frustration though, as it sounds like what I go through lots of times). I just love that sentiment!

It's interesting to find out how you got to your final card. I LOVE the background even though it was not by design. The end result is stunning with the navy and gold contrasting in a great way.
