Taking a minute . . . .

Hello!

Just taking a minute to show you a card that did not turn out well today :o(. I am so very disappointed with this one I have made for my 4 year old nephew. I did the card and it was fine - but a little on the plain side. ** note to self - next time take it apart and use polka dot paper **. I decided since it was all finished I would take a minute to put some dots on it. Instead of using my SU markers as I should have** ~ I still had my Copics out and used one of them. D U M B move!!! Especailly using this blue one that has leaked since I bought it!!!!!!!!!!! My dots that I usually can make all the same size - because of the leak are NOT.

So you live and your learn - right?

Here is my disaster:







A bit closer:







NOTE TO SELF : Copics go THROUGH the paper!!!!!!!!!! What you put on the outside is going to show on the inside - DUH
I did use my cuttlebug folder as you can see and since Kaylan will be 4 I put glitter on all the # 4's.








His little verse on the inside:








I hope to have something better to show you a bit later today - If I can think how to do it properly :o(

well I think it's VERY cute and I probably prefer the odd dots to polka-dotted paper...Hugs
