If At First You Don't Succeed...



This was the first version of the squirrel hole that I made. I liked it ok, but it just didn't quite work. I stared at it for a few days before I came up with the card that I shared yesterday. What I did like about this one was the way my Signo white pen blended with the birch woodgrain and took on a different color. It looked more like letters carved onto a tree.

While this was not the best card, it is a good one for me to save to tuck into my husband's luggage when he is ready to travel. He loves those little surprises !

Be sure to check the AMN blog for more ideas from the Muses (new paper!!!!), as well as other CT members' blogs for inspiration!

I do love how the White Signo Pen looks like it's been carved into the tree... brilliant.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who stares at her cards, willing something to come out of them! LOL
