No spring
nor summer's beauty hath such grace
As I have
seen in one Autumnal face....

Good
morning!
Another
challenge has begun for all you SheepSki Design fans! This month our challenge
is to make a card that celebrates Halloween of Fall. Your choice!
For my
card I am using the image Winter Warmer #183 and a sketch I Spy Sketches
This card actually
gave me fits to make. It seemed like something constantly went awry in the
making of.
It started with me masking the image to ink in a background … My mask not only
slipped but somehow red ink that was on the piece of paper I used for the mask transferred
onto the cardstock. It was unfixable so I fussy cut the image out and set aside
to cut new background mats.
Returning to my workbench I could not find the image.
Anywhere!
5 minutes
of searching finally found it had slid under my glass mat.
Then in
the process of stamping the sentiment, I slipped and smeared the ink … the
banner was created to cover THAT mess.
So … the
card is finally done with a few modifications to the sketch! And I’m happy with
it.
