The Boo-Boo card ...




Good morning, sweet friends!  

Yes, I made a boo-boo!  And even though I'm one of the clumsiest people ever, the boo-boo is actually my card! :)   

You know those moments when you are gettin' your craft on and you make a silly mistake?   Sometimes I catch myself looking at the 'error' and think "uh-oh, time to start over." But the real challenge is looking at it again - rethink it and craft onward :) 

That's exactly what happened to me when I inked up my Sweet 'N Sassy stamp set "Poppies and Greetings", a set I've had for forever-and-ever.  I inked up this darling stamp, and placed it on the paper, right where it was supposed to be - easy peasy!  Until I lifted it back up and realized a splotch of ink went with it!  Doh!

Rather than just start over, I challenged myself to a little creativity and just restamped the image again, cut out one of the flowers and added it over the splooch :) 

Take a peek at the boo-boo card, all mended and blended and healed up with love and care....

I started with the boo-boo ........ 






and ended with this! 



Here is the inside of my card - left blank for now :)


I added an extra blossom and an extra stem, propped it up for more dimension and then gave it a sprinkling of yellow stickles.
I'm so pleased with how this card turned out and how cheerful it feels, which is super since it started out as a boo-boo! :)

I would love to hear your boo-boos that you've made and how you turned them into something wonderful!  As always, thanks for stopping in today!


Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!
