Good Afternoon Friends!!
Well, what a week! One thing after another went wrong including.. I finished colouring one Stampscapes scene and picked up the ink pad to put away and it fell out of my hand, stamping green all over the sky! I left it for a day and then added some branches to cover a few of the lines and inked over some. I can still tell so.. I'll keep it to send to my brother! haha! He won't know the difference! (I'm chuckling away here...can you tell?!)
The other things that went wrong were all in series. First, a question! How many of you have had a bird fly into your windshield or, had a rock chip? Pick me!
I was driving down island to work on Thursday and got a rock chip from a large truck. Okay, they can repair those now... no big deal. Fifteen minutes later a huge black thing hit the windshield with a loud bang and then headed off to the side of the road. I now think it was a large crow! Now, if that isn't bad enough... 20 minutes later there was another thud! I think that one was a starling or robin but it was still slightly dark at 6:15 a.m. Yep... sure enough.. as soon as the sun came up over the horizon, I saw that my rock chip had now become a good sized crack which means the whole windshield needs replacing. Enough of the gorey details and on to the cards!! I just had to get my boo hoo story out!!

If you look closely, you'll see the green stripes from the ink pad edges! This photo looks a lot brighter than it actually is due to the glorious sunshine that was pouring through the sheers this morning!
If you've seen my other Stampscapes cards you'll be able to recognize the new stamps! For some reason my 'colour mojo' wasn't working too well hense the bright autumn like colours.

** One quick note! I forgot to mention that I added Jelly Roll 'Star' pen accents here and there. Brown (turned out glittery bronze) was used on tree trunks and branches. Blue star is on the waters and then highlighted again with Sky star. The white daisy dots are done with a Jelly Roll plain white pen and red leaves and flower dots were Jelly Roll Red star.
