studio calico sunday sketch

this is the second challenge i participated in this week.  it was for the sunday sketch at studio calico.

for some reason i had a very difficult time with this card.  the first card front i ended up having to throw in the trash because i knocked it over while it was drying and smeared it all.  this one isn't perfect, but i'm okay with that.  i added the splatters to make the imperfections of the glittered areas look not so noticeable ;-)

card challenge

i've been in a bit of a crafting rut lately.  i've had lots of ideas for projects and during the day i can't wait to get home and jump right into them.  but then when i get home i loose all that momentum.

so i decided to push past that this weekend and worked on a couple of challenges that i found online.  i found this one from stamp away with me.  while i couldn't officially participate in their challenge since i didn't have any wplus9 product, that didn't keep me from using this challenge as a jumping board for some creativity.

this is the card that i came up with and it was actually perfect timing as i needed a card for my niece's first birthday!
