It's time to get out your pencils, Copics, paint brushes or anything else you have to make a mark on your card for the
Addicted to Stamps and More challenge. The design team has plenty of inspiration for you. Here's mine.
A blog friend was purging her craft room and selling some of her stamps and dies. I bought a box sight unseen and inside was this darling doodle-y flower set from PS. I love the look of coloring on kraft so I pulled out my Inktense pencils and went to work, embossing after the coloring was done. This came about with my MISTI and a little hint from
Yana Smakula. Now I must say MISTI isn't always my best friend, like when I restamped the sentiment (because I forgot to use my anti-static tool) and it was off ever so slightly. Grrrr. Fortunately in that same box came the little die that was perfect for covering up the initial stamping. If I hadn't told you, you would have thought I planned it that way but I like hearing about how to "save" a card. Don't you?
I hope to see your card in the
ATSM gallery.

Delightful, those simple flowers on Kraft! And you matched it up with a perfect sentiment!
Those flowers are so very pretty and colourful Bobby. They look fabulous on kraft. Have always loved those words in a sentiment. Great 'marking'.
Those little whimsical flowers look so sweet on the kraft card base! This is adorable Bobby!
Very very pretty.
Well saved. I must admit that my Misti has improved my sentiment stamping no end and was one of the reasons I bought one. You struck lucky with that bundle of goodies though. :)
Love the effect of your colouring on the kraft. Normally I would say...thank goodness for the Misti....It has saved me more than once. Talking of that I have to go and 'save' my card as I spelt something wrong on it...after blogging it! Such a gorgeous card and well done on your box of goodies x
I do love a quick-fix tip, Bobby! and these darling doodle-y blooms! OH my heart... those houndstooth centers!

Oh, Bobby, this is so stinkin' cute. I love the look of coloring on kraft too. And the white embossing AFTER the coloring is genius. I forgot about that. Perfect, and just a fabulous card!!!!
You're right! I thought the label was part of your design! Thanks for sharing your 'fix,' it's something we all need to be reminded of from time to time! What a sweet card! I love how you've colored on kraft paper! Those colors are just perfect, and it won't be too-too long before we see real flowers in our yards! Such a happy card! Love it! Bev
This is pretty!!! Fixing mistakes is a part of crafting, I think :) ! And sometimes it gives us extra happy moments!
