Here's mine -
The background was one that was in my stash. I think the pink/red is probably distress oxide ink smooshed on to water color paper. It drives me crazy after you foil something and have all that lovely color left, so I added some transfer gel and some gold leftover foil and this is what I got. The die, You Are a Blessing was one I got from Paper Smooches early on in Kim's retirement sale. Did you know they were closing? 😢. It's pretty CAS and now that I am really looking at it, maybe a few sequins would have helped it out. Oh, well, hopefully the mojo that seems to have gone with Douglas will return very soon.
A little bit more background here (not the kind we are asking for in the challenge)...I want to dedicate this card to the Girlfriends, who are absolutely blessings. I had a bunch of stuff going on last week not the least of which was preparing for Hurricane Douglas. He decided not to spend any time in the islands, Thanks to God, all those prayers and the Girlfriends who were right there to give moral support and offer help. They are the BEST!
We would love for you to join us this week. I'm am looking forward to seeing all the different ways you create your backgrounds. If you need some inspiration, visit the Girlfriends and leave them a little bit of well deserved love.
Aloha,
Brenda
