Playing catch up and defending my title as Queen of Combos!LOL. This is for 4 challenges this week. 1.Today's LIMITED SUPPLY - DIY-DP.
2. Thursday's WAYS TO USE IT - Eyelets.
3. Tuesday's COLORS - Real Glorious Navy.
4. Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS - Stacked Ribbon.
I do frequent use my background stamps and my small background stamps for backgrounds so I wanted to challenge myself. I have never used the markers as Holly did so I gave it my best shot. Learned a lot to NOT do next time but it was fun. Thanks Jen for this challenge. My image is stamped in black stazon then colored w/prismacolor pencils and blended w/gamsol then the edges distressed w/night of navy using sponging. I used an eyelet and it is difficult to see in the pic but I punched out some clear transparency and attached it to the eyelet so it would look like a peep hole. I layered this on squares each 1/4 inch up in size then stacked them off rather than centered. Stacked red on blue ribbon on the left side and heat embossed the senitment on the right. I think this turned out OK but will do things a little different next time. I have just been dying to ink up this rocket ship and today seemed like the day.
TFL and visit MY GALLERY and MY BLOG for a close up on this pic. Neva

What a cute card, so bright and happy! I also love that little rocket image and have been trying to tell myself I don't need that set - thanks for putting me over the edge, lol!
