Hello friends!
I am popping in with a quick card about using up scraps.
What do you do when you have a not-so-perfect stamped background?
This was my dilemma. I was playing the Altenew Checkerboard Stamp with the Mixed Media Ink.
I love how the Mixed Media Inked, however, I missed a few small squares here and there.
I still love the overall stamping and thought I should still use the less than perfect stamped background.
The Waterbrush Hello Die came to the rescue. To make the sentiment more prominent, I added the Washi Tape and then I ran it through the Mini Blossom Die Cut Machine.
I then stamped a few small checkerboard pattern in the background to keep up the overall theme. As for the background, I used DIY paper (inked with the Mixed Media Ink) with the help of Gel Plate (all linked below). The paper was also part of a scrap that I don't have use for.
I can not always create stellar projects as I do love my scraps.
Hope you enjoy today's mix mash card!

a very happy card!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you nailed it! love your creative use of a "mistake".
Just love your trio of hellos in the washi, Virginia! So fun on the stamped background; don't even see a boo-boo, wherever it is...
Great way to use a background you are not happy with Virginia - it's ended up a great card
Fun and clever!
What a fun way to use pattern paper!
so fun and cute
Love the trio of hellos! It really is a cute card and helped with your background problem. I have lots of not-so-perfect backgrounds so will keep your solution in mind. My problem is I usually have a spot of two that are darker than the surrounding area. It is either redo the whole thing darker or try to cover up the offending spots! Your idea is a perfect solution.
I like it! It's a bright happy card!
I like the idea to keep working on things that don't work out as expected. The test and scraps can really be useful.
I love the whimsical feel and prints!
Fantastic work using scraps! Every detail of your checkerboard stamp looks beautiful. The use of Washi Tape is quite evident in your artistic work. I do read a lot of books and blogs on Painting and Handicrafts. It inspired me much to start with some simple art activities.
