My card todayis for three challenges: 1) RedDivas,
2) TLC235, Painted Grid
3) FS133, jojot
I was a little leary about this technique after reading about Wendybell's experience, but I really crammed that tape into the brayer and hoped for the best. While it seemed loose, I was able to brayer several backgrounds with out any trouble and when I washed off the paint it still stuck. Wow was I surprised. I did however like the results better when I brayered diagonally intstead of up and down.
As for the featered stamper challenge, Yay!!! It's Joanne. I so wanted to do this yesterday but was helping DH with a project and I would have been in all kinds of trouble if he'd caught me making cards so the only thing I could do is dash upstairs when he went out to the garage for another tool and make a comment or two. Sorry Joanne. Now that I'm stamping again I couldn't decide which card to case so I just let her style inspire me and this card is sort of a combination. Thanks Joanne for the inspiration, I would love to case every one of your wonderful works of art. Congratulations, your gallery is sooo fabulous and fun.

Love your little silhouette stamp against the mesh background. Funny, even with just one little strip of tape holding mine on, I had to prise it off when I was finished my trial run and card. Mind you, I'd say that was a lot stickier than my Magic Mesh if I'd managed to find it.
Your black and white paper is gorgeous, and makes a spectacular combination with the red.

Oh Mel, despite all the trips to ditch DH during your project, you managed to come up with a spectacular reddiva card. Love the sihouette image on this fabulous card. Wow, girl!
