I had a bue/green sponged bg all ready to go and was in the process of stamping on it when I dropped my black ink pad on top....errrrrr, yes, I screamed! So I actually found this already made bg of DO inks applied over gesso. I figured it was close enough..I proceeded to do my stamping..made the grass and added some chunky ep to that, edged the border in gold, added stickles and the brads...Hope you like it.

do I ever feel for you, Pol! But this alternative bg is pretty in it's own right. I love the exuberance those fairies add to your colors. That chunky ep...isn't it a blast to use. Wonderful play with the CC today. Great texture as well.

I thought I heard a scream coming in the stamping cosmos! Been there, you have my sympathies. I'm sure you'll find a way to salvage that bg. This is magical, Polly! I love the texture from the chunky ep and the dragonfly brads. Lovely, whimsical bg for the dancing fairies.

Ugh, sorry about your ruined background, Polly - we've all been there. I love the card you ended up with, though! The fairy images are delightful and the gold chunky splatters and edging are beautiful. Love those tiny gold dragonfly brads!

I love this scene - even though they are fairies, it reminds me of dancing in Jamaica. Sorry you dropped your black pad - I kind of smeared up one of my cards and had to redo it.

Ack, I HATE it when that happens to me. Your chunky EP looks super here, and so does the look of DOX over gesso. I must try that. The little plant border is really sweet, they remind me of miniature puffballs.

Ooh I hate when that happens, and its always on the piece you like the best too right? (( Polly )) I love that you have a silhouette of fairies dancing that is really fun in the scene.

I hate when that happens and it has to me! You have my sympathies, Polly. But....you created a gorgeous card. I love the fairy images - so happy and bright.
