#109 Heartfelt Thanks

While I was organizing some tax stuff that I need to make copies to send to our son, a C.P.A., I played with a card to meet Red Rubber Inspirationals challenge for this week.  I have to admit, I should never try to do 2 things at the same time.  I do not expect to get even an honorable mention as there are a couple things wrong with this card.  I will mention them at the end of the post and see if you pick up on them.


I used a pack of paper called This & That from Echo Park.  It's a great pack of paper with boy themed stickers and elements.


The "One of a Kind" and label are both stickers and I mounted them on black card stock and used my 1/4" hole punch to match the corners.  The script thanks is from a Red Rubber Designs set called Mini Script.  This set is on clearance for a GREAT deal right now.  Did you figure out my 2 boo boos??  One is that I originally planned on the card being vertical so the background print is now going sideways.  Oops!  The other boo boo.....  I stamped the text in brown by accident then overstamped with black then, horrors!!!  It smudged! It's not a bad smudge but still a smudge.  Rats.  Oh well.  Lesson learned.... don't multitask when making something for a challenge! I do realize that I am very critical of my own work. Does make creating a lot more difficult. Guess I better concentrate on getting my copies done before I do anything else at my craft table.

Ok, so there are a couple oopsies, if you hadn't pointed them out most folks wouldn't know. Even so it's still a good card with good color design and layout

I thought that the background paper turned on its side was genius! See, even mistakes aren't always mistakes! :-)
