*** This week I had a stamping date with my neighbour. One of my girlfriends wasn't feeling very well, so I thought of this Cup A Soup project (I have a link on my blog for the video).
It was a real challenge with lots of embellishment opportunities. I didn't have a great stampingday! I stamped edges which I didn't wanted. Very annoying! I've made a smudge on my paper, my ribbon was too limegreen and when I stamped the sentiment it didn't fit! AAAAAARCH! But we've thought of some embellishments to cover up my mistakes. Over the edges I taped the ribbon, which I colored with alcoholink in the same colorscheme as the ecolinebackground I used for my frog. Which I placed over my smudge.
Over the sentiment I also taped a ribbon and I stamped the text again on another piece of cardstock. Vertically this time otherwist the sentiment still didn't fit. But we thought we could get away with this, because the frog jumps too.
On the smudge I made in the upper section I also placed a ribbon, so the ribbon returns.
I am now reasonably satisfied with this project, but it was a real challenge!
Stamps: SU and a alfabetset of which I don't know the brand
Ink: Stazon, Versafine, Alcoholink, Ecoline, Versamagic Tea leaves and watercolorpensils.

Dit is echt een leuke opkikker!!! Goed idee en leuk uitgevoerd. Bedankt ook trouwens voor je aardige berichtjes op mijn blog. Ben net terug van vakantie, dus kon er niet eerder op reageren. De nieuwe challenge heb ik er trouwens net opgezet, dus misschien doe je gezellig mee?
Wat een geweldige kaart en een superleuk verhaal errond om te lezen! Blij dat ik niet de enige ben die zulke dingen tegenkomt, maar je resultaat mag er zijn, hoor!
