Mistakes and ....

.... happy accidents!

The first card is the one I was going to use for the Basic Grey Challenge only I used Crate Papers by mistake. I've also uploaded the close-up of the image because I like the shadows cast by the dimensional paper-pieced bits:



This second card is the first time I've used my Hero Arts Russian Dolls stamps. I was a bit nervous about them, as I had trouble initially with the Japanese Dolls, but I really loved using these - perhaps as they aren't so minimalist. Certainly suits the decorative BG Urban Prairie papers. Just noticed the picture is really blurry - I took it in too much of a hurry as I was rushing to the post office to post the card. Lesson learned!

Thanks for looking!

Thanks for visiting my blog & commenting on my shaped card, I designed it on the DS software with a particular sized envelope in mind (it's square!!!), always try to take the easy way out!!! he! he!

Happy crafting, L.
