The challenge this week is a one layer card with some reference to music. I chose one of my Art Journey stamps that has music as part of the background and stamped part of the image directly on the card before colouring. Yes,good old Promarkers again! Then I added the sentiment and a bit of ribbon.
While I was taking the photo, I got a lecture off son about taking my crafting too seriously! 'Seriously Mum chill out! This is how the picture should be.' Out came the tongue as I tried not to panic about it getting too near the card!
Then when I rescued the card from the tongue attack, I dropped it and smudged the edges so ended up trimming it and sticking it on another card.
So the end result is not what I started out with but I blame the tongue! I'm linking this over at Handmade Monday as I've been absent from there for too long and need to get back in the swing.
I'm also entering it over at Less Is More (the pre-tongue version of course!)
I would be quite happy with both versions - great image!!

ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by, so I could come find you! Your card image is a new one to me and perfect for the challenge, both before and after the layering! That son of yours is a little rascal, but he sure is cute!!
ReplyDeleteKids! Who'd 'ave 'em??! :-) I actually like the card with the coloured frame, so maybe he's actually helping and developing your creative journey :-) I love hearing stories like this as it makes crafting oh so real.
