Then, I mistakenly printed out (birthday) Wryn instead of Wryn - Close To My Heart which I was planning on using for a Valentine's Day card. So instead, I ended up making a birthday card for my daughter whose birthday isn't until April.
And I used to be a total procrastinator. (Well, I totally still am when it comes to housework.)
Hmmmmm.....some crafters are so darn good at clumping (Yes, clumping doesn't exactly convey an image of prettiness I know, but that's what I refer to it as. Keep reading and you'll see that "clumping" ain't so bad.) together embellis. I'm decidedly not. My attempts always seem to look more like my embellishment basket ralphed on my card. *sigh*

ReplyDeletejust coloured one of these have to make the card..love your card and your colouring is great!!!!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous coloring on this card for your daughter and ahead of time too...WTG!
ReplyDeleteI love that you've created a word for my inability. "Clumping" absolutely my evil nemesis in card making. I hope to evolve from ralphing in this new year. :)
Thank you for a WONDERFUL and humorous entry into our challenge at Top Tip Tuesday and The Squirrel & The Fox!

This is really sweet. You know your daughter will love it and your 'clumping' looks just fine!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic card! Great pastel colors! Thanks so much for joining us at Tiddly Inks!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about clumping. Some people making it look so easy. All I try to remember is to keep odd numbers 3, 5 or 7, that is SUPPOSE to make it look natural and not just random.
ReplyDeleteGood to see you around the blogashpere. Love the aqua colours you chose here, beautifully done.
Thanks for joining the Tiddly Inks - Celebration Challenge. Good luck!
Such a sweet card!
ReplyDeleteI had a really good laugh about your "clumping" description because I think I don't do it very well either! I think your card looks wonderful with all the embellishments & I love the embossed background too! Love this image will definitely be off to check out the new Tiddly Ink images! Thanks for playing along with us this week in our "celebration" challenge over at Critter Sketch :)

Such a beautiful card Jan....the colours you have used are so pretty. I like your clumping...something I have not managed to be able to do.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely card, so adorable and I love all the blues. Thank you for joining us at Stamp n doodle.
ReplyDeletewell, missus, i think i'm going to have to respectfully disagree on the subject of your "clumping" skills... which i find excellent... altho i do think we should think of a better verb, since that one sorta sounds like a complication after surgery! :) :) :)
ReplyDeletealso quite in awe of your COLORING SKILLS, for that matter, and i just basically love ALL the cute stuff you've combined together on this lovely card! ♥
seriously..this is so freakin cute

Personally, I think that you 'clumped' really well on this card.
ReplyDeleteNaturally I have extensively researched this topic and if you would like my expert and highly thought about and researched theory behind the 'clumping' technique - I will share with it you.
Stick em on.
Sssshhh - dont tell anyone else - it will be our secret :))
