I absolutely love the background you created, I really have to try this technique.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Steffi, for the compliment. I hope you do try this technique. It's different each time and a little bit of "magic."

ReplyDeletegorgeous card....so happy you have been playing with eb folders...it is quite addictive isn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt's ALL YOUR FAULT, KAREN! LOL! I'm loving it. Now I need to get at my neglected Gelli Plates. You have inspired me with those too. Just not enough time! Thanks for the kind words.
DeleteDebbie, I'm sorry it has taken me SO long to stop by and let you know that I loved seeing this gorgeous card in the gallery for the ATCAS Texture challenge! Those are favorite colors for me and I loved your poetic words about them and springtime!! Having your sediment label blend in with the scrummy background is genius!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled anytime you have the time to comment, Darnell! Phew. That was a mouthful! I don't know how you keep up with it all. Your posts always have me smiling while I admire your creations. Hugs back.
