Greetings! and a Lesson

Greetings is the name of this cute little hedgy!

I made this card for today's SCS Featured Stamper's Challenge. Today's featured stamper is StampinPam . She has a GREAT gallery, and I thoroughly enjoyed cruising through all her fabulous designs! The card I chose to case is HERE .

I changed everything about the card except the design. I really liked her layout, and since that's typically the most difficult part for me, I'm always happy to use someone else's design!

Before you say, "What WAS she thinking!", I need to point out a *tactical* error I made! Lesson learned...when you adhere something with a Glue Dot to paper, it CANNOT be moved! I don't think I will forget that anytime soon. I adhered the orange flower in position before I realized I didn't like it there. Quickly I discovered that it cannot be moved...it tears the paper. Now, I'm smarter than I was a little earlier today. (I guess that's a good thing?) LOL! Take heed! Learn from MY mistake!

The stamp I used is Penny Black's Greetings . I think that little guy is just way too cute! I stamped it on watercolor paper, then colored with Tombow markers and a blender pen.

The green scalloped panel is stamped with Penny Black's Scrolling Along . I used VersaMark Ink to stamp, then embossed with detail white embossing powder.

The sentiment is from Wordsworth. It's called You Are My Sunshine . I've used it several times. I just love the small size as well as the sentiment itself.

So that's it for me tonight. I am older and wiser. And I know Martha would say that's a good thing!

Have a great week...and thanks for stopping by!
