My friend and Artist Rachel had a birthday recently. While trying to make the perfect card for her I had a crafting meltdown…sob or sigh. I wanted a Pop-Up in the middle and I just could not get it right. A few items in the room got tossed as I tried for the 4th time to get the Pop-Up right. I was not successful. So I opted to go for Balloons inside the card with the Pop-Up and I could not get one stamp to go just the way I wanted it. It was the stamp said “Lets celebrate” in the middle of the string for the balloon. My husband came in and grabbed the stamp and stamped it perfectly on another piece of paper and said “It worked just fine for me”… those are fighting words to an Card Maker/Artist. My response was “GET OUT!!” Of course I said a few other words as well but we won’t repeat those. He has since said he will never help me craft again says I am on my own. So after my tirade. I came up with this beauty. I had gotten the front just right I just did not get what I wanted for the inside. I am very happy with the way it came out anyway. Take a look at the front.
Here is the inside
I am happy to say Rachel loved her card anyway. I am pleased with how it came out. It also gives me a reason to try again with the Pop-Up!!
