It Could Only Happen to Me !

JustRite's Challenge #123  is a very pretty colour challenge.

I love the colours, but I had the worst time coming up with anything. So, as usual, I left it to the last minute and had to rush to get a photo taken before the rain came. You won't believe what happened, but more about that later.
I used a stamp that I had wanted to get for quite a while now, and I like it just as much as I thought I would ! YAY! It's called Floral Thank You and I like that it is a cling stamp that I can do some fun techniques with. This time I just coloured on the stamp with Faber-Castell Big Brush markers and Distress markers and lightly misted the stamp before applying it to the cardstock. I layered that on pink and then on a white piece cut with Spellbinders A2 Locking Loops, which I layered on pink and then the white card base. It's a simple card so I thought it would benefit by a lot of layers! I haven't used much bling lately, so I got happy with a whole lot of little shiny gems!
So, see how nice and clean this card is? Well, it's not any more! I thought I'd try and get a couple more photos, you know, and pick the best one. Look at closely at the upper left corner of this next photo.

That's a Chickadee, and here's the card right before it fell into a planter full of mud! That little begger is kind of a pet. I call him Chirp, and he usually chirps at me before he flies at me, but this time he didn't give me any warning! I hand feed him and he is so darn cute I guess I can forgive him for wrecking my card.

    LOL -- guess that Chickadee thought your card was food and was mad it wasn't! I think your card 'was' fabulous -- I too struggled, as evidenced by my entry!!!

    LOL - That's too funny. I guess your little friend thought it was dinner time, and got upset when it wasn't. I'm glad you got the pic first. Sorry you lost such a beautiful card.

    Hi Shona, beautiful card with the different colours of stamping, too bad the bird pushed it into mud (I'm sure she didn't mean it :)). I also looked through your previous designs, all very beautiful. I'm having trouble with blogger as well, I can't load pages, or comments or I run out of time, I've been very busy. I have family visiting right now, but I'm having a quiet cup of tea to catch up a little. Have a great weekend, Shirleyx
