Hot Mess = Success

Today is the 12th and it is time for another Hot Mess card.  This is card number 31 and we are well into year #3. The idea of Hot Mess ~ Success started with Kelly and the general theme is to Get Messy and you will have Success!  Messiness can be almost anything that we come up with--glitter, alcohol inks, glimmer glitz, sponged backgrounds, etc., anything that is a bit messy.  We are a group of 6 and we will post a card each month on the 12th.  The links to the other 5 members are on my left side bar and I will also link them at the bottom at this post.

For this month's messiness, I am using one of my backgrounds I made with my gel press.  I took a Lydia class as she is the queen of the gel press and I had a blast.  I am not sure of the colors of paint on this panel, but they are a bit beachy!  I wish I was at a beach this month instead of in temperatures below zero!   I then used a Taylored Expressions Framed Scrip Hello Die and cut three frames to stack for dimension.  I then added a sweet sentiment strip as it sure seems I am sending out lots of cards like this lately!  I added some enamel dots as the final touch.   I really like the look of this card and hope you do too.  I also sure hope my fellow messy ladies liked it too!

Here is the inside of my card, with a strip colorful paper:
