Tearing Up The Grass

I hope you have had a lovely weekend.  My Mum and Dad have been staying with us which has been very nice.  I did manage a quick nosy at the Less is More challenge yesterday morning so I could muse on it while out and about.  Anyway, I've just had chance to make a quick something, using my lovely little Trendy Trees stamp set, a perhaps overlooked set from the main catalogue, together with a scrap of paper so I can play on the snippety swings with Di and friends.


Supplies
Stamps: Trendy Trees
Ink: Early Espresso, Old Olive
Card: Crumb Cake
Paper: Old Olive from the Brights stack
Other: stamp-a-ma-jig

It would have been great if I hadn't actually made it like this....  What a twit!


Upon realising my mistake, I may have looked a little bit like this!!!


Thanks for stopping by to see my one-of-a-kind artwork (bet you've done it before too!!),

  3. Hi Victoria

    Love your card even if you've made it upside down. I had to laugh as I've made many of back to front cards myself! Enjoy the rest of your day!

  6. You have no idea how hard I am laughing right now. And how good you have made me feel!!! Not only did I do this same thing a few weeks ago, but when I cut the front off to re-apply to a new card, I got busy talking to my friend & did the same thing again! Now THAT is a twit! The card is darling at any rate!

  7. Oh Victoria, this made me laugh so much, I suppose you could send it to a friend 'down under'! Despite the mishap it's a great CAS card. Thanks for sharing! xx

  13. Hi Victoria! Oh no - Australian card-making!! And it was so full of LIM elegance and simplicity (I may have cracked vintage layering, but these still fill me with awe), and it's still a cracking card! Sorry I've been a lax blog-visitor lately - still recovering from wedding madness last weekend, but it's nice to get out and about again in Craftyblogland...

  16. Hallo Victoria

    Merci beaucoup pour le super gentil commentaire que tu m'as laissé. On effet, les commentaires en langue française sont plus-tôt rares.
    Tu as appris le français ou est-ce-que tu est française et que tu vie en Angleterre? Si ce n'est pas ta langue maternelle, chapeau!!...car tu t’exprime drôlement bien!

    Ta carte est super mignonne et le fait qu'elle soit à l'envers, je trouve ça plus-tôt très original. Le chat est tout simplement "trop fort"!!

    A bientôt et merci encore de m'avoir écrit en français

    It's a great card anyhow, very clever design.

    Treehouse in the playground? WHAT next?!?! Snort, I don't suppose you'll be building it along with Sam and Mrs A.

    Hugs, Di xx

  27. Oh Victoria you did make me laugh!! However the design is fab so will make a super card when rectified! You could always add a sentiment along the bottom saying "You turn my world upside down"??!!

  33. If we could be paid for all the cards we've put together upside down or backwards, we could buy lots more stamps! Great save and a great card. And heavens, don't wake the kitty! BTW, thanks for your tip on the size of the cards on my blog. I really appreciate it.

  41. A great image - and it will make a lovely panel on another card! I've made many 'back to front' cards - so busy making sure the image is great that I've forgotten which way the card blank opens!

  43. I'm so sorry that I'm late in visiting this week, but I have been on a wonderful cruise to Norway where I didn't have very good Internet coverage... maybe I should have gone to Australia for this one!!
    Thanks so much for your lovely contribution!

  44. What a great card! Loved the story too...I so enjoy hearing how someone else does occasionally do the same things as I do...Makes me feel not so 'arrrrgh'. Hope you are enjoying your parents' visit. Lucky you. TFS. See you on the playground soon, and we can talk 'bloopers'. Hugs
