It's Tickle Time already! Always a fun challenge. This month, Gracie is our hostess and she has challenged us to use red on our cards. I chose this fun Bugaboo image to be a redhead in a red dress. I made this at the same time as the "Lift the Paint" TLC, so I grabbed some red paint, some glow in the dark orangey red, and some red glitter paint for my background. I used Debbie's favorite stencil again. I guess it must be my favorite too. I do like the shape of those hearts. When I looked up the Bugaboo Catch the Bug Challenge, I found a diagonal in the BINGO card that fit - Heart, Bugaboo Image, Dots/Stripes. I went with dots with my new Nuvo Expanding Mousse through a stencil. My understanding is that if I hit this with a heat gun it will react in a cool way. I haven't tried that yet. Sounds like a fun experiment for the MIX challenge. You can just barely see the glitter paint shining through my background, so I had to add some more glitter--to her cocktail. And then I found just the right red rhinestone (Desmond helped me pick it out) for her purse. I had a ton of fun with this card and I look forward to sending along to one of my Teapotter friends!

Ah, I had some Brusho expanding medium and it was super-fun. You should give it a try. And in fact in a different lifetime when I worked for the company that imported Winsor & Newton here, we had an expanding paint in one of the craft lines - I remember making samples to use for DH to demonstrate. Love all your reds, and the bubble sentiment. I once found such a lovely pair of red shoes that I bought a second pair to have in reserve . But they weren't quite that high.
First, I love the partial talk bubble you used for this card - very clever! Second, that background is, as Susan said, fantastic! And third, that lady in red simply hit the ball out of the park!
