Toy’s Haven

Good morning

I am laughing… seriously, I am.

Today is a humble lesson in how NOT to stamp.   You see, the color challenge was a bit late getting posted and I was getting antsy.   I had already picked out the image I wanted to use as I wanted to give you a *SNEAK PEEK* at this new My Favorite Things set (What A Girl Wants by Amanda Baird).

Well, I had this brilliant idea to make the image three dimensional with a window in it (because, well, it has a window! LOL).   So, I had the image stamped, cut out and ready to go when the colors were posted.  EEK!

Now, I adore Christine (ChristineCreations)… she is a fellow dirty dozen alum, but when I saw the colors, I should have quit right then and there.   I knew I had no So Saffron… it is on order.    I pulled out the other colors and decided to sub the SS with some barely banana… they are close, but a tad off.    I thought I had it made when I found this piece of Kay and Co. dp that had the proper colors in it.   Then I held it up to the bordering blue and discovered that what I *saw* as blue in the dp was really more green.

Did I quit? Noooooooooooo…….

Anywho, by the time I had finished coloring and assembling this LOL card, I was flabbergasted.   So, I just sat back and LOL’d myself silly.

Wanna see it?

Ok, don’t laugh.    The concept was a good one… the colors just ruined it.

This new set is adorable though.. gotta love her tiara and elbow length gloves.    Those sunglasses just make her sassy!

Ok,  so ya KNOW I am human.   I don’t always make the perfect card.    Sometimes, the challenge to create just gets the better of me :).
