Who said it was easy?

Why is it that the simpler my card looks, the more difficult it was for me to make it? I have a wonderful talented blogger friend whose work I always find to be uplifting. Her name is Shirley and her blog is Paper Creations by Shirley. Now Shirley is fond of ink and ink sprays, and she uses them to great effect. As a HUGE admirer of her brilliant colourful backgrounds, I got inspired to purchase some of the beautiful Dylusions sprays to attempt to this for myself. Shirley has been very encouraging, BUT neither Shirley nor the Ranger company thought to mention that people with the motor skills of a two-year old should NOT use these sprays. I won't go into all the details, but things didn't go well !

I masked off a border with painter's tape, managed to get some ink on the watercolour paper, took the tape off and got multi-coloured fingerprints on my nice border. I must have missed a spot when I was cleaning up the mess I made, so naturally I stuck my hand in it. Round four commenced!
Finally, a pretty b'ground ! ( If you don't agree, I suggest you don't say anything where I can hear you. ) Now to use a pretty butterfly stamp from the Unity Stamp Company's Life Becoming set. This is one of the sets available at their Garage Sale this weekend.
I stamped it with VersaMark ink and proceeded to spill black embossing powder all over myself and the carpet. Happily, this accident did not affect the card ! That would not have been good. I did manage to get the sentiment (from the same set) heat embossed with what little powder I had left. Then, because things hadn't gone bad enough already, I thought I would try using sequins. How bad could they be?
 BAD, they can be BAD !
I thought Glossy Accents would be good to get them to stick, and I was right. They stuck to everything but the card, which apparently they wanted no part of. ( I still have one stuck in my hair, and two on my sweater!)
I managed to get this card from hell mounted on red mirror card, and then naturally, I cut the card base the wrong size, not once, but twice !
I'm going back to bed... well after I scrub my hands a few more times, and try to figure out how to cover the purple on my face. *sigh*
Heck! Maybe I should crawl under the bed and wait for tomorrow to come!
