rubber resist take 3

I'm not a huge fan of this one, but I wanted to show you what an opps looks like. I used to do Pysanka, which is a specific method and style of creating wax resist Ukrainian Easter eggs. I haven't done any in years, and apparently I have forgotten all about layering colors over each other. For this card I made the base and embellishments first and then decided to create the background piece using rubber resist. Sadly for me I wasn't really thinking about colors mixing when I created this. I was going for yellow and blue, but what happens when you mix yellow and blue? you get green. opps. So this is a lesson in what not to do.

something old, something blue

Nope, this isn't about a wedding, it is all about using up old stock.

I love the forest friends set, and corduroy buttons are probably my favorite embellishment ever. This is a pretty simple card, but I love it all the same.

I am having a bit better night so far. The computer was acting stupid again, and this time my speakers were all messed up. After 3 hours of trying to figure it out, it turns out my 4 year old got a hold of the speaker utility and messed with the settings. I never ever would have guessed he was able to do that. I am hoping to get quite a bit of stuff done after he is fully in bed tonight. Tomorrow is *supposed* to be nice out, and if it is, I am planting my garden. I was wanting to get it done around the 23rd or so of may, but it has been way way to wet to get it done. If I do managed to get out in the garden I will not have anything for you all tomorrow night.
