Murphy's law frequently applies to my crafting experience. When I am knee deep in things to do - stuck at work, family members needing me right NOW, the house is on fire and I can't reach my craft supplies- my mind explodes with fantastic ideas. Then there are those times when no one needs you and nothing has to be done right this minute. Those are the times when I find that my mojo has packed up, moved out, and left no forwarding address. That is what happened last night. So, I decided to make some easy backgrounds for my stash. Usually I have an image and apply bg inks according to the image. Here I just sponged the 3 colors on and then sponged the same colors through different patterned stencils making a light and dark bg. Luckily the CAS312 was posted early. I had no stamps with numbers, but I remembered seeing this one. Roman numerals count, don't they? Even though I did not plan it, the bg colors worked. I just added some gold and white gel pen to make the image stand out more. TFL, Francie

Oh my this BG coloring is brilliant and yes I believe roman numerals do count as numbers. Oh I love this card. And yes I do understand the mojo being gone until you have a million other things that must be done, story of my life. LOL

Roman numerals are definitely numbers and this is definitely stunning. Pretty sure your "no mojo" is my "mojo on fire"!
