Stop and Go Blog Hop Redux



Confession:  I had two cards to post for the hop yesterday, but late Sunday night, I (or rather one of my eagle eyed friends) discovered a big mistake on the card.

Since I didn't have time to get it fixed/photographed, I just posted the one card and tackled fixing it yesterday.

I used the same paper pad (MME Cut & Paste Adorbs) as in the first card, but went a little more bold and graphic for this one.

The image was stamped directly on that one patterned piece of paper.  The 'YOU' is from my On the Corner set, the fonts are the same, and it allows you to really stretch the possibilities with the Stop and Go set.  The bold houndstooth pattern is popped out with foam tape.  To add a little definition to the transition between papers, before adhering the houndstooth pieces I added some Queen & Co washi, but spaced it so that just a bit of it shows.  A few Neat & Tangled sequins added some extra color and sparkle.



I also stamped one of the borders from the On the Strip stamp set along the left border and clear embossed it for some additional texture.

What do you think?

Want to see the original card?



It ended up not being too hard to fix.  I stamped the sign again on another piece of patterned paper.....lining it up correctly was the hardest part, then I stamped the hand image, fussy cut the square out and pasted it over the original.  

Have a great day and don't forget to hop to win a set of your own...just scroll down for my original hop post.

  1. I still like the original, even if it does have a walking dude. That said, I know how it would bug me if there was something that needed to be corrected and I would want to go back and fix it myself! Awesome card on both attempts, and that paper collection is seriously amazing!
