It's the 12th of April, time to get messy. (insert deer-in-the-headlight look) As you likely recall from previous 12ths, I am not one who likes messes. Not one bit. BUT a challenge is only a challenge if it stretches you, and I'm up for the Hot Mess Success Challenge.
Barb, Carol, Darlene, Kelly, Terry and I create cards for the Hot Mess Success challenge each month and share them on the 12th.
It's Anything Goes - as long as there is something messy involved.
This month I decided to play with my Color Burst Powders again but to take it a step further. After letting the burst effect completely dry on white cardstock, I used the Cuttlebug Ann Griffin Matalasse embossing folder to give it some dimension. I highlighted the raised areas by lightly passing a Lawn Fawn Blue Jay ink pad over to top of it.

Jeanette--your card is beautiful! I will need to try that technique with the embossing folder. Great Card this month!
Wow Jeanette, I love your card. The highlighting of the embossing folder with ink really POPS the card to a whole new level. Great job!
Very pretty Jeanette! I am familiar with using ink on the raised embossing panels and this is such an amazing visual! Awesome!
I was trying to figure out how you got those awesome lines in your background. Love it. Such a classy card. Thanks for sharing.
Great background for this globe and your wonderful sentiment!
