Well...I got my stamp order from Hambo stamps and hadn't had a chance to play with them, so, today I decided I'd make a card using the "Crack Stamper" stamp. The image turned out great- stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on GP110 white cardstock and colored using Copic Markers. I doodled around the edge using my SU Basic Black marker fine tip. So far, so good. I decided to use some of the new Basic Grey Lemonade paper that I had bought- yet, still good...I picked SU's Basic Black as the base card with a layer of Glorious Green, matching the green in the patterned paper...STILL good...I decided to add some Prima flowers and a gold brad- just making it better...but what happened next is beyond me. I, being the ribbon-a-holic that I am, decided that the card NEEDED ribbon...so I pulled out my SU Pumpkin Pie grosgrain ribbon that matched the patterned paper and started putting it on...and on...and on...and on...well, THIS is what I wound up with...THIS is what NOT to do when card making!
It was AFTER I had the card completed that I realized it looks like a psychedelic barber pole!
Well, once that mono-adhesive is down it's stuck! So, I have this hideous card that I can use in a 'fugly' contest! :) So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
I hope you all have a wonderful Friday!!!

ReplyDeleteOk, I think "Fugly" might be a bit strong of word! I love the image, it made me laugh out loud. I definitely won't forget the ribbon either!
ReplyDeleteYour story had me LOL! Thanks for the funny! the image is hilarious and I love your word fugly!
ReplyDeleteOh my ...LOL I was laughing out loud when I read your post! I was thinking barber because of the large scissors she's holding, not because of your ribbon....LOL I like your ribbon treatment, it's very creative.
ReplyDeleteFugly is right. I love how fugly it is. The lady cracked me up. Nice when a fugly card all together brings a smile and giggle! thank U!
ReplyDeleteI really wouldn't call this card Fugly at all! I might not have used the ribbon myself but the card is adorable! I'm gonna have to check out these Hambo stamps for sure!
ReplyDeleteI like the card! Not fugly at all! The image totally "cracked me up" (pun intended). TFS
ReplyDeleteYou're being too hard on yourself -- the card is really cute, and definitely eye-catching! (Or is that "eye-scratching"??) LOL
ReplyDeleteIf this is your fugly card hon, you don't know what fugly is. Do I need to make you a ribbon hat to remind you about fugly???
