This is my card for today's Ways to Use it Challenge, to use our markers in a different way. I've always had trouble misting because I'm heavy handed with the mister (I'm heavy handed in most of my card making....case in point the honkin' big bow on this card). Anyway, I tried something a little different and went heavy handed and then topped that with a traditional stamping. I like how it turned out. I added some bling in the centre of my Penny Black flower and mounted it on a panel embossed CB's polka dots, then mounted on SU's tulip frame.
Thanks for looking!!

Gorgeous card, Jo....I expect nothing less. On my monitor the bg looks a dull green/greenish gray...,but no matter what it is, it looks FABULOUS with the rust and orange. You have such an innate color sense.

Well lefty, the heavy hand really worked on this image. Like the way you stamped it again. By the way I really like that Big Honkin bow. Great colors again. tfs

Jo, this is a beautiful card. Very well thought out. LOVE that "honkin' big bow." Love the watercolor effect you achieved with your markers, too. Beautiful!
