Good day to y'all
so today I have something so different for you!
What I was working on these past view days, is a new background technique that I created
I was so intense into it that I did not even take photos until after
do y'a think I will be able to repeat this???
Who knows LOL
okay so I also used Bleach - I am going to do Bleach on Saturday again, but in entirely different way then today.
soooooooooooo................... I used the colours from the Just Us Girls Challenge
I beleive this challenge was created just for me lol
This is more what I am comfortable with
so these are my colours
I will show you as we go the stamps I used cause I changed my mind alot he he
and I had a HUGE HUGE HUGE ROSA moment
ready for a few giggles
okay here we go! LOL
okay so like I said after making my background with
ink, watercolourcrayons, markers, shimmer mist and shimmer paint this is what I got
but this is not the end product just you wait
okay then I used my stamp (dragonfly from the Natures Nest - I got this stamp cause Sandi made such beautiful cards with this set, and I had never even noticed in the catalogue - my bad - thank you Sandi)
What I did with this is I used a paper towel soaked in bleach - in a little container and put the stamp right in the bleach - and stamped direct to card stocke
okay now let's see what other kind of damage I can do lol
okay so I some layers with dabbing ink a sticky note
I show you in a bit
then I decided to use the flower from of the earth
WARNING
I did not like it lol
do you know how lucky I am that I used Craft ink???
I was able to wipe it!
with a BABY WIPE
okay so now took off the flowers that I did not like
and I am adding more colour (that went away with my wipe) lol
I used a wripped post it note and all three of my colours
I applied on a dabbers and dabbed aways
so I decided to go with Asian stamp
BUT I did not use part I avoided getting ink on the bird!
I am using this beautiful ribbon and I am going to make knot in it
but then I decided the greeting was to big
so I trimmed it down
now for knots in the ribbon
The Greeeting is on and I just have to finish the layers and put the dragonflies on
What do you think??
oh my goodness another Rosa moment
I make the scrore line UPSIDE DOWN
oh my..........................
lol
he he
okay I fix
okay so then I am just going to make an easel
I am finally done
holly what a journey lol
What do you tink???
I would just love to hear what you think !
it turned out really nice
up close of the layers and the dragronfly
got to go to work
Liane is sick today and so I am short staffed!
got to get a move on
please leave a comment I would really appreciate it
and ofcourse I have BLOG CANDY FOR YOU
have a good day
Embossed hug to you

What an awesome background! Love it....well, love the whole card! Sounds like everyone wants more detail on the 'how to'! It's absolutely gorgeous!!!
Posted by: Sandy Jones | 02/25/2010 at 09:03 PM
Your background is fantastic. The dragonflies look pretty cool done with the bleach. Liked seeing your knotted ribbon. I tried something similar the other day, but couldn't get it to turn out the way I envisioned. Maybe I needed to add bling like you did :)
Posted by: Sue Root | 02/25/2010 at 08:33 PM
Love your background. And your ribbon effect is so different. How do you think of all that new stuff? Very cool card.

How can you possibly find a way to kick it up a notch EVERY day? This card is super fantastic! Love the ribbon knots and the background is to die for. You picked just the right sets to show off your spectacular background creation
Posted by: Linda | 02/25/2010 at 05:41 PM
Oh Carole'Anne!
That background is to die for!!! Sure wish we saw how you made it....
Beautiful card!
Sorry I have missed your last two posts - I am out of town for 3 weeks. I will have to catch up with them when I get back. Now I have computer access I should be able to see the rest :o)
Hope work was OK as you were short staffed.
Hugs, Candy

I love it!! Wow, I love the background and how you knotted the ribbon. Bows and I don't get along. I'm not sure about using bleach though, I'm a klutz with wet stuff.

Simply gorgeous!

Love the final outcome of the color, it is really gorgeous. The flower and dragon flys add that little extra to break up the design. Good job! I would love to win this blog candy. Beautiful sets!
Posted by: Pat Turner | 02/25/2010 at 03:18 PM
I thought the flowers looked really good. As usual, your finished card is A #1!
Posted by: Carolyn | 02/25/2010 at 03:08 PM
I love this gorgeous card, especially how you did the background. Were the colors sponged in? My favorite is the dragon flies and how you used bleach. The color combination is so beautiful, thanks for sharing how it's done.
Knotting the ribbon is very different. Love it.
Posted by: Marge Waskiewicz | 02/25/2010 at 03:01 PM
Wow - your background is really pretty. I love that look. Just wondering - what do you do with all of your cards? Just got me thinking that this one would be hard to mail.
Posted by: Dawn | 02/25/2010 at 02:48 PM
what a great finish the tied ribbon gives such dimension and this card looked fine with the flowers but I also liked your second choice -Love your background paper too soooo effective.
