Mid Week Challenges

Oh my goodness, I  almost missed my new fun challenge from A Blog Named Hero Arts; Topsy Turvy.  Use a sentiment as something else.

I was able to use a couple of Hero Arts stamps that haven't seen ink!  That was a bonus playing in this challenge.  Bird with Long Legs [which I replaced with the sentiment] and Friend You're the Best

My background is spritzing.  Stamp ink on acrylic pad - spritz with water - stamp on paper.  I really love the technique - you never know what you will end up with!

Naturally, I had to play in the One Layer Wednesday challenge.  This week, our Hostess, Jennifer is thinking outside the box, a shaped card! Was I on the same page or what!  I really had no idea this was going to be Jen's challenge.  LOL - So, apparently, you only get one card since my card for HA fits the OLW challenge!

Thanks for stopping by~

Very cute, very clever; I am still pondering on the whole 'not square or rectangle' idea.
Nice colour scheme too.

Very creative with the sentiment, Vicki! I love the look of the spritzing, but I just make a mess when I try it! Great card...and you even make it for two challenges!!
