Mistakes.....

I thought I would share this today, for those of you who think that cardmaking comes easily to me......here is the finished card, Stamp by Art Impressions borrowed from my friend Mary (thanks Mary), coloured with ProMarkers, sentiment computer generated. But before I got to this........................... 



I chose pink and green, carefully stitched around, and tried this sentiment, which didn't work at all...................


the sentiment that came with the stamp is this.................


which I found rather strange, and couldn't imagine sending to a friend. 'Here's your card, I haven't given you a present for your birthday because, as the man says, what greater gift than the love of a cat'

So back to the dratted card. I had to cover up the sentiment I didn't like so cut some rather strange corners to cover it up, the more I did, the worse it looked................. 





there really was nothing for it, the coloured image was removed to be used on the card at the top of this post, and the disaster card went where it belonged - in the trash. A couple of hours of my life that I will never get back. Hey ho..


Ah well, we all have our off days... See you tomorrow

  8. Ahhhh, Enfys you are definitely not alone. Admittedly a number of my own creations, even after a few hours of effort, have found a more fitting home in the "oval" file container as well.

    They say there are no mistakes, only opportunities. OK, I will agree to that, but only if you allow me the grace to say that what I learned was what NOT to do again! *wink*

    BTW, the end result turned out lovely!

    Hugz,

  10. Well, Enfy, glad to see that you makes mistakes, too. Thought I was the only one who spends hours thinking this is real cute and when it is done, its a zero. Your cards are always beautiful and nicely designed.

  11. The pink was just to PINK! lol I've tossed my fair share of things I couldn't save. As for the sentiment. I love my 2 cats.(Although there are some days I could...) But the sentiment would work for me. lol Big hugs, Jess
