Another Challenge Fail . . . When Will I Learn?

This card was supposed to be for a brand new sketch challenge on the WPlus9 blog.  However, and this is where the "fail" comes in, when I made out my list of products used, I realised one very important thing was missing, nothing . . . but nothing, was from WPlus9!  Fail!!  I own loads of WPlus9 products and yet I had managed to make a card without a single WPlus9 product!  Duh!

Anywho, that wasn't going to stop me from posting it here anyway for you all to see.  So, without further ado . . . here it is!



I think that the problem was, when I saw the sketch, I immediately thought, 'MFT Blueprints 3' and didn't think beyond that!  This is the sketch that I followed.


As you can see, I even followed the colour scheme (which I didn't have to use) it was a choice whether we followed it or not.  Here are the rest of the photos and below will be the list of products used.







Supplies used:

Distress Ink - Spun Sugar
My favorite Things - Blueprints 3
Cuttlebug - Herringbone
Clearly Besotted - A Little Sentimental
Memory Box - Masa Leaf?

As promised from my earlier post of today, I even got away from the layered flowers and black leaves!  Thank you all for visiting, I really appreciate you and all your comments!   Have a lovely day.  Hazel xx

  6. Oh Hazel, this is a beautiful card! I had to laugh when you said that you didn't use any WPlus9 products, I think we tend to forget when we see a sketch and have the goodies to create that sketch, which by the way your take on this sketch is spot on! Love, love, love! Hugs, Brenda

  10. Oh, Hazel, I couldn't help but smile at your 'fail' - having so much fun making a lovely card and then realizing you didn't stick to the rules - believe me, we all have 'fails' like that somewhere along the line, my friend!!! But your WPlus9 card that ended up as a MFT card, is beautiful!!! And you even used the colours - so soft and femine and lovely!!! Love the sequins with the slightly brighter colours!!!
    So glad you decided to share it anyway, as I love it!!!!
    Have a great day!!!!
