Okay, so this post was meant to be about making a Mother's Day card for your mother, mother-in-law, sister, etc.; however, I had several mistakes on this card so I thought instead that I would show you how to fix those little "boo-boos." :)
First, I started this card by stamping the beautiful Vine Heart {D377} on Azalea {77120} paper using VersaMark ink and Ranger seafoam white embossing powder. Well, after embossing, I noticed I didn't get the upper right corner of the heart inked or embossed. Ugh! Can you see it?
In a minute, I will show you what I did to fix it. Then I got my Glitterari paper together and started building my card. I wanted to use only a part of the sentiment from the Peace, Love, and Joy {B1114} stamp, so I only inked that portion of the stamp. But then, upon lifting my stamp, I noticed I had a dot of black ink to the left of the sentiment. Ooops. I guess I am still suffering from jet lag from my trip last week. Do you see the dot?
So, now we have two mistakes thus far. In these smaller pictures, the mistakes are hard to see but believe me, if I mailed you this card you would have seen them. Remember, you can always click on the images to see a larger picture. :)
To fix the mistakes, first I used the awesome Memory Box hot pink pearl stickers to cover the black dot. It worked perfectly. Then I stapled the heart to the card for a fun embellishment and to cover the part that didn't get stamped or embossed. Here is how it turned out:
Papers: Memory Box Glitterari, Memory Box lagoon notecard, Memory Box parsley and azalea cardstock
Tools: A Muse stamp positioner
Stamps: Memory Box Co. Vine Heart D377, Memory Box Peace, Love, and Joy B1114
Stamp Ink: Memento tuxedo black, VersaMark, Ranger seafoam white EP
Embellishments: Memory Box pearl stickers hot pink, misc. ribbon, Making Memories staples
So, think of how you can fix those little mistakes. The Memory Box jewels and pearls are PERFECT for those little fixes not to mention they are adorable and a great addition to ANY creation! :) I hope you enjoy this bright colored "fixed" card. It is going to go to my sister for Mother's Day. She loves bright colors and fun patterns--exactly what you will find in the amazing Glitterari 6x6 paper pack!
And lastly, have you seen that we are running another $100 Memory Box Bucks contest? If you haven't, look here! You won't want to miss out on your chance to win! See you again soon! Enjoy your day!
