View Master Card...

Ok so never before has a card taken me this long to make! Now it could be that I'm not a quick learner like the rest of you but holy cow....I almost gave up on this card!
This is for today's challenge on SCS. It's a View Master Card. I think it's really cool but I'm not so sure I will attempt to make one again. Three tries....2 and a half hours later....lol...I stamped the Ladybug in all the colours and one rock and rolled in Saffron and Wasabi.
If you have never done this View Master Card before...go give it a whirl and let me know how you make out!

Supplies Used all Stampin'Up!
Stamp Set: Garden Whimsy
Cardstock: Wild Wasabi, Real Red, Barely Banana and Whipser White
Inks: Wild Wasabi, Real Red and So Saffron
Accessories: Photo Corner Punch, 1 3/8"Circle Punch, Mat Pack and Paper Piercer, Rich Regal Brads and Dimensionals


Yesterday when I was cleaning out the computer room I discovered my missing sketch book. It's been missing since probably JUNE...lol...although I hadn't noticed!

Anyway this card layout was one I jotted down from a blog or SCS, I'm not sure. So if it is someones sketch please let me know and I can give proper credit.

The Real Red Cardstock is on dimensionals and I ATTEMPTED to stamp the bees in the center of each. This picture is a little washed out. The cardstock is Summer Sun, Real Red, Whisper White and a scrap of designer paper(unknown).
I have been wanting to try using my Crop-A-Dile to do this dry embossing since I heard about it at Convention. When I was making this card I thought it needed something else. Normally I would pull out the mat pack and paper piercing tool and add a row of holes. Then a light bulb went off and I remembered this new technique that everyone is doing!

I like this simple card and I'm going to try and do more like this with different sentiments.

All your cards are beautiful! They look like you've put in a lot of work into them and it show by how great they are.

I've made cards where I spent hours making them and many times, when I spend too much time on them, the results don't meet my expectations. After working so hard, I sort of expect more.
