It's Sunday of course, so it's time for another Sentimental Sunday Challenge!!
This weeks challenge is:
Step outside of your comfort zone!!
(plus a sentiment)
Before proceeding on with today's post, I want to take a moment and say goodbye, to a woman that I admire, for SOOOOO many reasons!!! I don't know how many times I told her she rocks or how amazing she is...I think like 302 times! Wait that makes it 303 because, I said it again!!! Ann, the creator, the heart of Sentimental Sundays, is saying goodbye to us today. Although it is a bittersweet moment, I know that we will continue to see her amazing contribution to the crafting industry with her fabulous designs.
So, Ann, this card is for you!
I "wish" that all your dreams become reality.

So for my sample today, I colored the image with distress ink, which is way out of my comfort zone.
Well I have news for you....It's not!! I started working on the card about 3 weeks ago and had to redo the coloring about 10 times!!!! I wish I had taken a picture of all my efforts!! You would be laughing right along with me!!
Supplies used:
Stamp: Magnolia with star wand
Medium: Distress Inks
Medium: Distress Inks
Paper and card stock: DCWV: The French Country Stack
Stamp:Tilda with Star wand
Stamp:Tilda with Star wand
Spellbinders:S5-046; Pearls: Recollection; Lace: Unknown
Flowers: Prima; Ribbon: Etsy: Paper Loves Glue; Stickes: Crystal: Ranger; Crackle Paint: Ranger
Well with all the redo's that I had to do, I really like how it came out.
As with everything though, the more you do it, the better you get. This will be a technique I do again.
Just a couple of things to remember and a note to self:
1- Start off with your lightest....you can always make it darker
2- Let the color dry completely before applying another layer of color
3-BE PATIENT!!!! :)
