I am not even sure what I did with this card...it is my 3rd attempt at the challenge! I immediately had my ideas when I saw the cool Dotted Vase from the Acacia catalog, but nothing turned out quite right! I love this dandelion stamp from Hero Arts, but for some reason, I always have trouble inking and stamping it the right way! I tried emboss resist with versamark and yellow pigment ink, but that didn't look right. So I took my waterbrush and made the whole thing wet, then stamped again with tea dye ink on the dandelion stamp...and that's how I got the background. Used journal tag and family rub-ons from 7 Gypsies on acetate sheet, then tied it down with this cool knotty ribbon I got from AC Moore...I do like all of the yellows in this card!
