CAS383 = red, white and blue. Since the marbleizing technique was used, I did get some "in-between" hues.
TLC592 = marbleized paper. To be honest, I created this marbleized paper awhile back(I've been hoarding it). A friend makes handmade papers and invited me to her workroom to do the traditional paper marbleizing done with ox gall, combs, skewers, etc. to move the paints which float on the surface of the water. It is a messy procedure to be sure....but the results are worth it.

Yay Sallie, I've missed you!! Were you on vacation?
This is some gorgeous marbling!! I bought all the stuff to do the more traditional marbling with rice paper etc but I hve even gotten it out (bought about 4 years ago after going to a class)...I know, I'm bad!
I love your beautiful card and the die cuts you used over the marbling is perfect!

WOW! Just WOW on that background. How I'd love to see this done. Not even vaguely familiar with the process or supplies. You used one of my favorite dies of all time and it's so perfect for this, not detracting from the magnificent background. You are always amaze me with your talent and no doubt you always will. Notifications stopped yet again! What's up with that?
