Summer

Here's a card I tried to make for the flourish One-Layer Wednesday challenge but had to layer up because I stamped crooked. See. There are no mistakes, just opportunities for embellishment.



Supplies
stamps: Hero Arts (all discontinued)
ink: Memento
paper: PTI white
accessories: label punch, dimensionals

  1. Still gorgeous, mistakes or not. The best things (mostly) happen by accident.

  3. Yes, I love a happy accident! I have trained all my customers to see the opportunities in their alleged "mistakes". :)

  4. Fun card - I love orange and turquoise together, and the label punch fits the "fixed" sentiment perfectly!

  7. Ah, our summer is looming ahead of us! Just 2 more school days for my son and 3 more days of work for me .. and then we are free!! Love the "summer" colors you chose!! Great way to fix an oops. I too have a few cards created from initial attempts of the OLW cards. :-)

  12. Now you know why my cards normally have SO many embellishments!!! lol! Great card, Susan - love the sentiment!

  13. Beautiful! I really like the sentiment popped up like that, even if it is to hide a mistake. I hope no one ever decides to disassemble one of my cards - they might be surprised at what they would find under the embellishments!

  14. I have a basket of "mistakes" that comes out once in a while to be transformed! This "mistake" is possibly better than if it _had_ been a one-layer!

  15. LOL.........I measure my progress as a Stamper by the number of Oops on each card.

    If all inks really worked all of the time, and all polymer stamps were easy to place on the blocks straight, and all red rubber stamps were mounted on their wood blocks straight.........Oh Lordy Heaven is going to have to be some kind of place, to meet my requirements for no tears, four-letter-words or frustrations.

  16. Great job... I love the raised sentiment too. I'm going to get cracking on some white on white... you seem to nail it every time.

  19. Yep -- no mistakes, only opportunities. Some of my favorite cards have come about because I did something imperfectly on my original try. Love this one -- and the sentiment popped up looks fabulous. Still an easy-to-mail card.
