Season Of Giving - Craft Roulette 291

 

Hello and Happy November!  Today I have a card for the current Craft Roulette Challenge #291.  I was really excited to make this card because I love the new Season Of Giving Collection by Sweet November Stamps.  This collection is digital and I love digital stamps because I am able to resize and manipulate them so easily in my software.  

This card has a whole lot of mistakes, but they were good ones because I learned a lot and hopefully won't make them again.  Sometimes I think that we are too hard on ourselves and expect perfection, at least I do. I need to remember that I make cards for the joy of it and they don't have to be perfect.  

The parameters for this weeks challenge are:

• Project: Postcard
• Colors: Easter - The little girls outfit and the packages are pastel-ish colors.
• Element: Pack(s)(ing) - I stretched it to packages.  😉
• Random: Shiney - the windows and the giving bucket.

I used Copic markers in the following colors:

G21, G24, G28 - awning, building trim, man't shirt

W0, W2, W3, W5 - sidewalk

BG10, BG11, BG23 - scarf, hat trim, purse, mittens

B0000 - widows

C0, C2, C3, C5, C7 - vest & sign

E08, E09, E19 - building

R81, RV34, RV56 - coat

Y00, Y06, Y19 - packages

E000, E00, E21, R00, R20 - skin

B000, B21, B23, B24 - jeans

R05, R24, R39 bucket

E33, E35, E37 - shoes, hair

Okay, now for the goofs on this card.....I wanted to antique the edges, so I used my Copic spray system with a E33 marker installed.  I was in a hurry, so rather than use mint tape to mask off  the left side of my postcard, I just covered that side with a piece of scrap cardstock.  Once I had the right side done, I didn't like the way the left side looked.  I thought that I would just spray the edges.  I wasn't paying attention to my scrap mask, and accidentally sprayed so that there is a harsh line on the upper left corner of the card.  That is where it all came tumbling down.  LOL!  Before I knew it, I had spray everywhere.  I probably could have added more color to the upper left corner, but I stopped trying to fix it before I totally ruined it.  I don't think it's horrible, and I like everything about it except for that line, but it definitely isn't what I had pictured in my mind.  Oh well.  

Since I had to print out my image anyway, I typed the sentiment using a couple of different fonts.  The postage stamp is from Postage Collage North Pole Stamp Set by Waffle Flower.  

Even with the oopsies, I still love this card. 

Thank you for stopping by today and happy card making.
