Playing catch up with the HYCCT challenges I missed last week. This card is for Mary's "Let's Lick this Thing" challenge. She asked us to use a postage stamp. If you look in the upper right hand corner of the collage, you can see the postage stamp.
This is also for this week's CAS challenge to make a collage. (Is that cheating?)
This is one large stamp. When I used it with the Perfect Medium, I didn't realize I had missed the center of the stamp. But, I decided to work with it. I embossed with white EP and then added chalk, but left the center white. Then I dropped the butterscotch alcohol ink on that center spot. I thought it would be more yellow, but I decided to work with it. Next I stamped the word "You" in the center and then added stickles around it.
Thank you so much for stopping by and taking a peek!

Kathleen this is so pretty. I love the stamp you used and...no it's not cheating! I like how you did the You in the center. A great card to send to MD Anderson.

Oh how pretty! I love when a 'mistake' just makes it that much better! Thanks so much for joining the "Let's Lick This Thing" challenge!
