Even though I keep my stamp room nice and tidy, I am a horribly messy stamper while creating. We’re talking hurricane level mess! It never fails that I have at least one smudge, glue drips, chair wheel tracks (don’t ask LOL) or other mishap per stamping session. The background I created here was actually one that I was going to use for this past release. I couldn’t make it work with the black ink smudge that I accidentally added so I added it to my stash to use later. Honestly, I could never throw out anything rainbow colored so I was bound and determined to create something with it. Since I am in need of end of school year cards I decided it would be perfect for that! By adding a few strategically placed die cut leaves the black smudge is completely hidden!

Love the beautiful layers, tone on tone and Laurie’s “fix”. Everything helps me learn.
Great trick which I have used as well! I know what the hurricane stamping looks like.
Great cards, always from Kelly and Laurie. I have made one too many mishaps in the craft room AND ALWAYS salvage. HAH!
