~ LOL… just LOL ~
April 14th, 2009 by Holly McMillen
Good morning 🙂
I am laughing… seriously, I am.
Today is a humble lesson in how NOT to stamp. Â You see, the color challenge was a bit late getting posted and I was getting antsy. Â 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. Â I knew I had no So Saffron… it is on order. Â Â I pulled out the other colors and decided to sub the SS with some barely banana… they are close, but a tad off. Â Â I thought I had it made when I found this piece of Kay and Co. dp that had the proper colors in it. Â 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. Â 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. Â Â 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 :).
