Oh but ain't that America for you and me
Ain't that America we're something to see baby
Ain't that America, home of the free
Little pink houses for you and me
I have some exciting news and today I can finally share with you that I've joined the CR84FN Challenge Team! I'm excited to be working with Mona and the other talented Design Team Members, we'd love to have you play along!
I had something different in mind when working with this weeks colors, okay I actually started two different cards, and scrapped them both and went in a totally different direction and ended up with this card. I love the way the BG colors work perfectly with the piece of Basic Grey Curio paper that I used under my stamped image panel. Cool, huh!
The background is created by morphing the Smackin' Acetate Technique, as I spritzed my Acetate with some Ranger Perfect Pearls and instead of using Glossy card stock I used Matte. I stamped the beautiful image from The Outpost plate by Artistic Outpost in Black Archival and added the "pink" to my house with marker.

Okay, Lisa, Now I won't be able to get that song out of my head! But every time I sing it I will think about your STRIKING card! I just LOVE the sunset you created and the description of the technique you used! Just BEAUTIFUL!
WOW! Love the pretty sky. Fabulous job with this weeks colors. The Curio papers are some of my favorites. :)
Thank you Lisa for all your support with the CR84FN challenge and for joining the DT! I admire your creative style and always seem to put an "artsy spin" on things. This card is so pretty! Love the gorgeous colors on the horizon and the little pink house too :)
Terrific card Lisa. Never knew you could spritz acetate so thank you for the tip. Enjoy your day. Annette x
Lisa - what a fab card. I love that big tree (I have a thing about trees) and the pink house is just lovely!
Love that background. Beautiful scene and one of my favorite stamp sets.
Stunning background and I love the image. Congratulations on your new design team slot, well deserved. Tracy x

lol Lisa, can't say I was singing along, but would have been if I'd known the tune ;) Congratulations on your new DT role. Love the pink house on this card, so romantic :)
Love the sillouette image, and the way it just looks like it needs a frame to go on the wall! Fabby colours too. Congrats on your DT post!
Congrats for becoming DT with CR84FN. Have a wonderful 2011 !
Wow! Love this wonderful scene and the gorgeous background for it! Just stunning, Lisa!
Wonderful project and congrats on the new post. You'll be a great compliment to the team with your style.
Beautiful card, Lisa! I love the acetate technique! So stunning!
Lisa - this card is an absolute stunner!!! It literally took my breath away! Now that song is stuck in my head but, oh, how I love your little pink house! Great job girl!
Congratulations! I love JCM and was so disappointed to see they are getting divorced. He's great in concert!
Very pretty card, love the background.
Congratulations on joining this DT, Lisa! And, YES, now that song is stuck in my head. I have wanted to know the rest of the words...is it that we have the freedom to have little pink painted houses in America? Anyway,
This looks AWESOME! I really love the sky. It looks great. Does that tree come with the house stamp? That is one awesome tree. So much life and detail in it.
Thanks for sharing! And, have a blessed New Year!
He IS Able,
