Hot mess=success April 2023

 

Hi all. Today is the day to reveal our hot mess cards. I tried a new to me technique and almost had it aced and then I tried to attach it to my card base. By the time I figured it out ( I had to use glue) I needed to let it dry before I could take a photo. I did take the card to my daughters but it was gymnastics day so was gone in the morning and really busy this afternoon. So here I am.

I used not quite navy for the base of my card. I colored the free digital precious moments cowboy image I found online. The technique I used was a faux leather I found Here. The technique itself went well for the first time using it. The problem came into play when I tried to attach the leather piece of paper. First I tried a glue gun but that just pull the top layer of paper off. The glycerin was dry but the oil didn't work well with mounting tape either. I then resorted to a multi purpose glue. I put it on thicker and let it dry overnight and Walla it stayed on. I found cowboy stickers and added a couple on the card to make it more of a cowboy card. Here is my card:

Here is the inside:


Thank you so much for stopping by. I do appreciate it. Please take a few minutes to stop by the other mess=success blogs. I am sure you will not be disappointed by their creations.

Until next time,
Hugs,
Carol 


I am a wife a mom of two adult girls and a grandma to 3 wonderful girls and 2 fun active boys. They are the lights of my life, I am also a papercrafter. I love making cards and trying out new ideas and techniques. I dabble in other crafts as well. I crochet blankets, hats and dresses as well as other items to donate to the premie project and try my hand at anything that looks fun. Not necessarily successfully but I do try. Needless to say I am busy. I work full time, spend time with the family and craft when I can. Life is good and God has blessed me. For that I am truly thankful.

Carol this is a wonderful technique - the end result was well worth the effort involved in adhering the faux leather layer! A great card as a result
