Hi Everyone,
An older card to share tonight. I’ve been out and haven’t had a chance to make anything. A couple of months ago it seemed like there were quite a few cardmakers making ‘peek-a-boo’ cards. I had wanted to join in on the trend but was focussing my interests elsewhere. I honestly didn’t think too much more about it until I messed up the card I was working on. Instead of throwing it out and starting over I decided it was a great opportunity to try this technique. The inside of this card started out as the outside of another one. I ended up just cutting the front off and putting it aside while I made the front of a new card. I placed a new card into an embossing folder and ran it through my cuttlebug. Then I placed a small circle die in the corner over the place where I thought the whales face might be and put it through the cuttlebug again. The inside panel was then stuck in place. This card sat like that for quite sometime as I had absolutely no idea what to do to the front to finish it off. How it ended up like this is that I splashed a tiny bit of ink on the lower left corner and it had to be covered up. It’s not the prettiest of outsides but I really do love the inside. I would definitely like to try this technique again. In fact, I think I would like to make this card again but with a different front panel!
The Front:
Happy Birthday – Front
Materials used: Stamps – Home Sweet Home (Lawn Fawn), Sentiment Sampler (Paper Smooches); Cardstock – Knights; Die – Circle (Spellbinders), Lawn Cuts (Lawn Fawn) and Embossing Folder – Peacock Pleasure (Couture Creations).

Hope you have a ‘whale of a time’ today!
Happy Stamping!

Isn’t it great when boo-boos actually turn out well?! This card is adorable. My grandson Carter would love this–he’s all about nature. The embossing is great, and I love how the whale peeks out. Your coloring is amazing, and the splutches of water are the perfect touch. Great card, Kylie. Really sweet.
I get warm fuzzies reading your comments, Bev! Thank you so much! I should send you the card for him! 🙂
