It took so long for my paint to dry that I wasn't able to finish my card yesterday. I looked through my embossing folders to find this fun one. I used my Spectrum Aqua markers to color and tried to keep the colors bright and bold. Then I scraped the white acrylic paint across it and let it dry...for hours. I found that I couldn't really sand off the paint after it dried, so I gave up and left my background at that. I like it. I printed out this wheelbarrow and watering can which were freebies from The Hungry JPEG. Popped up with one of my favorite gardening sentiments.

Cute ef, I hear you about the sanding. There is a certain thickness to the acrylic that you need but it sure makes sanding difficult. I think it's supposed to be muted. Lovely sentiment.

What a brilliant embossing folder. I think you did a great job with the sanding, Jen. But I agree, I found it hard too. I end up sanding the paper too much in places.
