I ended up inking up a car stamp from Kort & Godt for the first time. I chose a sentiment from a set from Whimsy stamps. The stars are from the same WS set and they're there for a reason - to cover up the joints of a paper strip, since I felt the black panel was made to narrow at the top. This card is a great example of how things might not go as planned, mistakes have to be hidden, but these bits of paper still turned into a card - one has to be flexible sometimes:)
This card is for these challenges:
1) Inkspirational - #21 Sketch
2) The Crazy Challenge - Use Sentiments
3) Cupcake Craft - Boys
4) Crazy 4 Challenges - No patterned paper
5) Cards For Men - Dad
6) Make it Monday - Anything Goes
