This card is for the children in a domestic violence situation.
In my Childhood post, I told you I had gotten a second print. If you look closely, you will see the tribal swirsl in a very light print. I absolutely loved the print as a background and did not want to cover much of it up. I stamped and embossed the image. OOPS, I have a "smears" to you. That is what my sister Julie and I call our goofs! It looks like the boy is playing with a ball but that is a smears I made. Since it looked like a ball, I left it. See, there are really no mistakes when you are crafting!!

really? Who knew it was a smudge it just looks like he is throwing a ball in the water! I agree so many mistakes but I can always find a way to cover it up and make it beautiful again. And now that I said that out loud, I realize that's what I did for years and only a hand full of people knew wHat was happening behind closed doors.
