I can just hear the water lapping the canal in Venice now...sitting outside a bistro ordering a glass of Vino...
Nice country you picked, Kim! Excuse me while I order some cheese...
This is a great example of rank amateur coloring...I used terribly cheap cardstock here. My background is all streaky 'cause the paper absorbed the color before I could get it blended. So please just imagine a beautiful
BG07,BG11,BG13 color wash!
Of course, the humor doesn't fail...unless you notice the top sentiment with double vision...
You are like a bottle of rare vintage wine~OLD.
I did enjoy my stay in Italy...excuse me now, please...I am off to Nepal.

I think the streaky look is very cool - I thought it was a new technique so you may want to use the cardstock again! The double vision sentiment kind of works with the theme of your card so it is all good and looks thought out and designed the way you have it! Fun! Great card. Hugz

This is great! You rocked this challenge. Love the humor. I liked the background and wondered how you did it. Although it's not what you intended, it works great for this card. Relax and enjoy your cheese! Thanks for sharing this fun card and participating in VSN.

Susan,
I think I need this card for my older brother's birthday coming up! I always give him a bad time on his birthday, being the oldest in the family! Such fun and a great image too!
