Before all that started, though, two important things happened - my daughter passed her driving test first time (hallelujah!) and it was my husband's birthday so I made this card for him:
Update 01/12/16- this card was a challenge winner at Seize the Birthday - thank you!!
I'm entering the following challenges: Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge ("Trio-tastic" - I have 3 big stars and 3 tiny stars), ABC Challenge ("T is for Three" - same things!), Crafty Cardmakers ("Embossing" - I have heat embossing), Brown Sugar ("Anything Goes") and Seize the Birthday.
I made the letters, covered them in enamel accents and left them to dry for a few hours. When I went back up, I couldn't find the "a" anywhere. After some searching and cursing, I found it stuck to the sleeve of my jumper - it had been there since I put the original enamel on! I added another layer to try to cover the lumps and bumps of wool fibre, but it did still come out a little lumpy in the end. Here's a side-shot of the card (with lumpy letter a!):

Love the simplicity of this card. Looks fabulous and I do like the little bit of wool fibre left on the a. Adds a little bit of interest. Funny how often little mishaps happen and you go searching for missing bits only to find them in the most unusual places. I usually make another only to find the lost bit once my card is finished. Thanks for sharing with us at Crafty Cardmakers.
