My Ghoulfriends!

Hello!  I am a little late in posting my card today because of a mishap in my stamp room last night.  I will tell you all about that after I show you my card.  I saw the challenge on the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog was to make a card for BFF ...Buttons, Flowers and Friendship.  My first thought was, would would it be possible since I am doing Halloween?  And then I thought about the witch stamp I own from My Favorite Things.  When I got the stamp out and realized one of the sentiments said ghoulfriends, I did a little woo hoo and got to creating.  Let me show you my finished card.  I really love the end result!  Enjoy!

Now let me share my mishap!  You see, I was working on today's card and I had got the front done and was just adding my inside sentiment.  When I finished doing that, I realized the black stamp pad was left open on my desk.  My first thought was that could have been bad.  And then I looked at the front of my card... OMG black ink all other the bottom and especially on my main white panel!  Well, I almost cried.  It is so unusual for that to happen for me.  I am usually great about making sure to cover my inks so that does not happen.  But it was getting late and I was hurrying!  My main panel was the part I just didn't see redoing as I had paper pieced and colored.  There was also ink on the purple background on the left side of the card and a little on the orange panel. Just to let you know the layout I was going with before this happened was like the card I did here. So, I switched sides on everything to cover the ink, but had to create a new orange panel.  I couldn't figure out any way to cover all the ink at the bottom of my main panel without cutting it off and that is what I did!  I added a black ribbon at the bottom to hide where the cut off was. And my flowers covered the rest!  So, that redo took another hour. But, like I said earlier, I really do love the finished card.  What do you think?

Recipe:


Paper - Orange and Purple from $1 pack from Target dollar bin, Halloween text paper from old stash, Cardstock White, Black
Stamps - My Favorite Things
Ink - Versafine Black, Prismacolor Pencils, Gamsol
Tools - Rectangle Scalloped Nestiblities (I had to cut off and tape it to make it smaller when I had to cut my white panel)
Other - Black grossgrain ribbon unknown, Flowers by Prima, Button, White Thread by The Cat's Pajamas, Orange Dot Sparklers by Stampendous

I will have another card for you tomorrow.  See you then!

Happy Stamping!
Tina
