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.

Harvest Recipe #1

 

 Today I thought I'd share a card that I made for the 

Double Trouble Challenge #153, 3-2-1 Recipe to a Happy Harvest.

 From:       The Kitchen at Double Trouble 

 Recipe:     3-2-1 Fall Harvest Recipe

Servings:  Unlimited Portions of Fun

Ingredients - At least:  

     3  Patterned Papers  

     2  Embellishments 

     1  Fall or Harvest Item

 

Here's the sketch I followed at Try Stamping on Tuesday Challenge.

 

 

I'm not really happy with how the colors of the turkey image show up in the photo.  His body looks too green for me, no matter what position I tilt my screen.  I hate when that happens. 

 

Thanks for the visit. 

 

Purrfect Present, Purrfect Timing

 My birthday was 2 days ago and I received an awesome package of crafty goodies from a special friend.  One of those goodies was a stamp that I just could not wait to use.

It is purrfect for the Double Trouble Challenge #152 - De'ja Brew, the 2023 Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop, and the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #23! 

 

 The stamp and sentiment are by Your Next Stamp.  I stamped an extra copy and cut out just the cup so I could mask everything else.  Then I used versamark to stamp the cup, and heat embossed with clear EP, which gives the tea cup the look of china.  It took forever to get a clean piece of washi tape for on the card.  It kept tearing sideways off the roll before I was ready.  I had to pull it very, very, very slowly.  

Thanks to the fun challenges that gave me the purrfect excuse to use this cute stamp right away!

 

Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge #732

 

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

Tuesday Morning Sketches 

 

 

Here is the sketch for this week:

Using several items that were close at hand and flipping the sketch, I made this card:

 At first I had positioned the dragon fly and sentiment exactly like the sketch but I didn't like the dragonfly facing down.  So I finagled things until it suited me better.
