I Wish...

  

... I remembered to wash the ink off my hands before I folded this card - oops!

Inspired by the background fade to black and pop of turquoise and gorgeous pattern on the tea cups from this months Jay Gee Nook's Challenge.  It took a few attempts to get the stamping just right for the One Layer Less is More with a Flourish Challenge.  Stamps are a Paper Craft Alphabet with Vines, a miscellaneous dragonfly from my stash and Autumn Leaves Elegant Flourish, stamped in Momento Ink Black and Stampin' Up Tempting Turquoise.  I'd have to say I think I need more practice to perfect this technique, and as I keep reminding my kids...
...Don't forget to wash your hands! LOL
