Are you taking Clean & Simple Card Making 2?
I was so excited that I won a spot in the class from JJ Bolton's blog. I am sharing the card I made for today's homework. Today we were to create a card using one of the four sketches provided. I decided to use Kristina's sketch and kept pretty true to it. There was a first for me today, I have had sitting in my marker carousel for over a year two Smooch Spritz spray inks...sealed. I have always been really afraid to try it, but today I was brave. Now because this is new territory I didn't have a box to spray into. So I decided to tape what I was spraying to chipboard and spray over the laundry room sink. I really hope my husband doesn't go in there until I have a chance to clean it up.
Now my card is my second attempt, I actually liked the first card I sprayed better, it was more subtle. However, when I tried to faux stitch around the circle I ran into some trouble. Do you think I was nervous? So we are going no stitching.

such a pretty & romantic card Tracey...congrats on the win!
I'm laughing at the thought of somebody's husband going into the laundry room! I love what you've achieved with that PTI die as a mask!
perfect , love your card Tracey :)
Beautiful take on the card!
A+ for you today. This is wonderful, and such a great take on the lesson today. Is it really a possibility that your DH would enter the laundry room? Or does he not even know where it is?
Well Miss Tracey I give you a gold star today! Great job and I'm with you on the misting and spritzing...nervous! This card will be perfect if your hubby discovers the "mess" before you can clean it up LOL!!!
Adorable!!!
Very pretty card!
WooHoo!! Good for you for being brave!!
cool! love the masked spritzing!
This card is AWESOME!!!
This is gorgeous - and fabulous choices in your stamps and colors for this card!
Wow! Love it! The misting is fabulous!
Gorgeous! What a cool technique and lucky you to have won that spot! You could teach a class on CAS, I am thinking!
Great card Tracey. I think the spritzing looks very nice.
Ooh, love the misting!
Oh how neat - first to win a class and then to play with this technique! That background is amazing! Loved reading your blog - I think your husband will be happy when you tell him you didn't go buy a mister box! Boys!!
Gorgilicious, Tracey, and sooo brave! I have no sprays at all, except hair spray and that crap is all over the bathroom door and wall, so you can imagine what I'd do to the Playhouse! You did a wonderful job with it, with your whole card! That sentiment in the circle is the best!!
Great use of the cover plate, Tracey! Love your card.
I LOVE that sentiment!
Wonderful, Tracey! Great misting!
Tracey, looks like you will get an A+ on this card today. I love the background and your sentiment is just so perfect. See you bright and early tomorrow morning.
Tracey you crack me up! No reason for you to feel nervous...your cards are always great and I love the story of the laundry room sink...how disappointing to have to start over, but your result was perfect. I can't wait to see all you learn in your class.
It looks great Tracey!
Fabulous card, Tracey! Love that sentiment and the XO's you used!! Great background too!
Awesome card Tracey. Love the big dots.
That background looks amazing!! I am really going to have to get brave now and break out my mists. Can't wait to see the rest of your class projects!
This is beyond fantastic, Tracey! What a perfect misting!
This is gorgeous Tracey, - I really love that background and that sentiment if just right.
How lucky you were to win a spot in this class! I am so jealous ;-). I think your homework card is just beautiful! Way to go being brave with the spritz. Did you get your laundry sink cleaned up okay?
This is GORGEOUS! I love the subtle misting and the sentiment is just perfect! I think you'll be forgiven after he sees this beauty :-)
Another beautiful card. This was a great take on our challenge for day 1. Thanks for the inspiration. :)
LOL! ;-) Sorry about the sink, but your card is so, so cute. I love what you've done here!
Perfect!! :)
That sentiment...
I've had it pinned in quotes for...
a LONG time...
so I absolutely die over it! :)
And it's perfect for this card...
love everything about it! :)
I really like how you used the smooch spray with the circle cover plate ~ I bought some of the Mr. Huey sprays, and have only used a splatter technique. Congrats on winning a spot in the class! Love the sketch you chose!
