Where do I start....first, this card is for several challenges. I hadn't set out today to make a card (that journal is never going to get done lol) but I've been seeing all the beauties created using this week's Try a new technique challenge. Give it a go as it does give some great effects.
I also fancied the retro challenge but I don't have retro stamps, plus I wanted something for the Alpha challenge Y = Yellow.
If you want to know how I created the middle panel and fancy a giggle go to the TLC challenge thread. How long have you got lol? Let's say it didn't all go to plan but hey I ended up with some cool panels and some reminded me of the 60s and what I imagined a lot of people saw during those times *wink*. Not me...I swear. I am a 70s girl lol.
It got me thinking, which my hubby tells me can be dangerous. I also thought what if...which is in a stamp set I have.
I had already embossed the circle panel with dots earlier for the TLC challenge and it had some spots of ink on...so I am back to thinking what if, and before I know it I am sponging the panel with colour. It reminded me of tie dye clothing and effects in some 60s movies. Why I half expected Austin Powers to appear and say Who loves ya baby.
I had also got the stitched circle die cut from another challenge this week in my stash and when I popped it on the panel it reminded me of an eye...I was thinking what if again when I spotted my Dream on stamp. Plonked it in the middle green and yellow panel...oops stamped it in the middle. There is blue on there too folks, plus I added some other stamps. I'm in a mixed media mood and it is Friday after all.
Gosh I was having fun and you would think I had been mellow yellowed...I had to google this as I asked hubby to tell me the name of a song that related to the 60s. He knows a lot and one where people may have been high on life. He immediately came up with Donovan. I think we need a chat later lol...joking. He is a 70s person too lol.
All that was missing now was a flower...I remember flower power days...I think I was very very young...*cough cough*. Remember those days when we all wore flowers in our hair and cow bells. No, I do lol.
I remembered I had used my sunburst die for a flower before on a card that looked cool and was a sort of flower you would see if you were high on life. Die cut it out and stamped it with my �eoelady dream on�e stamp in various colours. See how this tie die effect keeps cropping up. Plonked a flower out of my stash in the middle and added flowing ribbons..well twine but you get the picture.
I had such fun even if I'm currently covered in blue, yellow, purple, pink and yellow. I am very mellow.
Dream on...who loves ya baby.
TFL. Happy day

What a fantastic card this is Jayne filled with gorgeous textures and techniques. I love the amazing center piece you created and how that looks with your sponged polka dot panel and this gorgeous flower. ~Karen.
