This is for color challenge 107 to use mustard, cranberry and caribbean. I uploaded this once and wrote a huge long story about this odd and ugly card. I don't have the energy to repeat it but I will tell the details of the card. I stamped stazon on glossy paper. I brayered mustard on the top part and caribbean on the bottom. I painted cranberry on the lighthouse, painted a huge, ugly sun with a mustard marker and added some ground area. I put versa all over the ugly thing and put glassy glaze all over that to if it helped. It didn't!! I made a frame out of cb bubble embossing folder, brayered it with mustard and there you have it. You are so lucky. The first upload story was lots longer and full of sad drama. The one really interesting thing I did on this card that I will try for future cards is that I filled the brayer with mustard ink and rolled it over the bubble embossed paper and then rolled it on the mustard layer to see if the bubbles would come off the brayer. It worked and made a very cool bg. I'm not sure it can be seen in the scan.

You're such a corker. Sorry I missed the long, sad story behind this card. I actually think this is a pretty cool card! I love the CB frame around your image, and I can also see it on the base panel, too. I also love the little lighthouse and the whole beach scene. This is NOT an ugly card!

How funny the way you describe this card. It really isn't that bad!!! Just that we always expect the supernatural from you. And it is good to see an average card once in awhile. I think it is the mustard color that is dragging this down a notch!
