Good Intentions Gone Wrong (really wrong)

Please don’t ask me what was going through my mind when I made this.  I’m not even sure WHY I made this.  Well, I know WHY.  I wanted to use the crocheted flower (a new preorder item at Jacksonbelle Embellishments) and the paper, but I’m just not sure HOW exactly this came from ME.   Do you ever make something that just totally looks like it was made by someone else… and you have no clue who?  **shrugging** 

Please be kind… or just very politely back out.  I won’t know.  Better yet, tell me…if you make a card that is totally not you, maybe you still kind of like it, maybe you don’t, do you still bravely post it or do you toss it and run? 

Princess to Queen

Eek!

I wanted to make the cat kind of fancy, but I think I got carried away…and then it was too late.  I dropped my gel pen which bounced onto the patterned paper a couple times, leaving some dots I just couldn’t hide, so I then decided to add more to make it look like I did it on purpose.  I should have left it alone.  I don’t “hate” this card, but it’s just so “not me.” I cannot explain.  I wish I’d had time to make another.  (The crocheted flowers are really pretty!)

I used one of the cats from Inkadinkado’s Patterned Pets set, adding lots of black 3-d gel pen and sparkle to the different parts of the cat.  The basic coloring was done with Copics.  The crown and sentiment are from Lizzie Anne Designs’ Once Upon a Time.

The crocheted flowers come in a package of eight, are about one-inch in diameter and hand-crafted by Melody Schwartz (a.k.a. Lacyquilter from Splitcoast Stampers).   They are GORGEOUS! 

Be sure to check out what Lindsey‘s design team has done with the flowers.  I’m sure their cards/projects are fabulous!
