Tuesday Morning Sketches #735

 

Welcome to my blog, where I have
a new card to share with you each week for

Tuesday Morning Sketches

 

 

Here is this week's sketch:

and here is my card: 

 

This was actually my second effort.

I started making the card below but after cutting the background paper, I couldn't figure out a way to arrange everything without covering up the bow or having the bow upside down.  So I started over and made the card above.

Here's what I did with the first card I started.  Perhaps you can see a few similarities in design.

Beccy's Place December Challenge

 I needed a candy cane for a card I'd like to make.  I was looking at some of my favorite stores for digital stamps because I have no patience.  When I stopped in at Beccy's Place, I saw the beautiful Christmas goose image that is currently free.   I added it to my digi folder, sized and printed the image, then fussy cut it to make this card:

Now, I think I'll add it to the gallery for 

Beccy's Place December Challenge.

BTW, I found the perfect candy cane waiting for me at 

Beccy's Place.

Monday Mishap

 Yesterday was my day to put stuff away.  Christmas here, stamps there, paper in the closet, embossing powders and ink pads in the drawer...... I was so pleased to have everything in its place, even though it never stays that way for long, until I spied  one lone strip of plaid paper on the floor.  It must have fallen out of the pack.  I carried it to my table and that's how this card began.

I was trying to channel Bette Manning because I love her cards and these are her favorite colors.  I was pretty pleased with my outcome and decided to do the inside, too.  Everything was looking fine and then I dropped the dauber.  Nooooooooooo!

Can you see the smudge at the top of the photo?

Now what do I do?  I tried a sanding eraser.  Using a tissue, I tried a bit of white ink.  I thought of maybe some random spots in the blue?  I laid out a few flowers but didn't like it.  I could add a gift card pocket and save it for someone to whom I send cash or a gift card?  A single butterfly descending to sit on the flower?

What would Bette do?

For now I will enter this card in a few challenges.  If you have any suggestions on how to fix my goof, please let me know.
