I recently purchased the Spellbinders Grand Labels Eleven, just for the reason of making card bases with it. I haven't tried in my Vagabond, but I can get the second largest die through my Cuttlebug with the long plates, yippee!
This card will be going off to Susan here in Southern California. Susan has some major health difficulties and is in need of cheer. What do you think, is this cheery enough?!
The bg is done with the SU! reinkers, the flowers were painted with the Inktense blocks, then a coat of the Judikins gold mica inks. These inks can be used as watercolors by just putting into a pallet and adding water. Talk about some fantastic colors, I love the glimmer the mica inks add to the projects.
Anyhow, I hope this card will go a long way in bringing some sunshine into Susan's life. TFL

I have some of those mica inks but never thought about using them with water and painting them on. Thanks for the idea! This is so cheerful and beautiful with those amazingly blended watercolors in the back ground AND the glistening flowers ROCK! She will LOVE this!
