Recently I was teaching my stamping girlfriends how to use Brushos using the Watercoloring Smooch Technique. We all came away with cool pieces to use later. My friend Sue was not happy with this piece, but I loved it, so...it went home with me!
All I did was cut it down a bit and give it a simple frame and a heat embossed sentiment. I think it is perfect for a Graduation Card for our Great Nephew Drew, who is graduating from High School in June :-) Drew is my twin sister Margie's grandson and an amazingly gifted young man!
Challenge #2: STAMPlorations Blog: Anything Goes Challenge. only one rule..to use at least one STAMPlorations Stamp or Digi. My "Dream" and the "background" on the Dream layer are 2 stamps from Live, Love & Laugh Stamp Set.
Enjoy and Happy Stamping

What a great card, Nancy! Love that background and when creating with a friend, don't you just love capturing someone else's rejects? What a great job you did on this one!

Aren't you the lucky one to get to keep this piece? It's such a pretty and colorful background. You made a super card with it. I didn't know you had a twin sister.

Super graduation card for either gender! Love the colors, and how you let the background do most of the "talking." I find it interesting that some of my cards that I like the least are ones that others really like--go figure.
