Don't try to adjust your monitor or your glasses, it is double the joy here today with my Wordsworth image! Think for a minute the last time you inked up a stamp and thought you had a good impression, then pick it up and half of the ink is still on the stamp??? Would a stamp a ma thingy help in that case, does anyone know????? Well, I laid it back down on near as I could see to finish and what you see is the slight off kilter quote!
Thanks Faith for the sketch. I stayed true to your design. And I thought pairing the Browning quote with the Da Vinci painting would be worth a chuckle. I mean think about it, it took him 16 years to complete...wouldn't your smile be off kilter....

I think you did a pretty good job of lining it up!! I love this quote with the Mona Lisa! Hugs, my friend!

I think there is a technique where you actually double stamp like this. hehe I love the look on your card. It just completes it so very well. You always know just the right image to put here and there to make for some very interesting cards. Susan, you done good. You are right up there with those other two dudes on your card. hehe Wow job. TFS :0)

LOL so that's what Mona was thinking and why she looks so thrilled!! The sentiment looked intentional to me and absolutely adds to the card! Awesome card Susan!

I think it still looks wonderful, Susan! I'm sure it was intentional, lol. I do use a SAMJ when that happens, but sometimes it helps and sometimes it makes it worse. I figure that's why paper is two sided: so I can turn it over and try again, lol.

When life is a little blurred, it just might be the joys of wild living. Oh, did I get that backwards? I love it, Susan and also the menagerie of prints you used with the neutral Mona Lisa.

What a delight to see you back in the gallery! It seems like you might be back for the long term, I'm hoping? What happened to you today is what happens to me every time I put ink to rubber. If you hadnt highlighted the reality that you stamped twice, I would never have thought any differently. Looks too perfect to me!
