I started this card over at my Mom’s house and snatched up some of her paper scraps – I loved the blues and blacks she was working with and I couldn’t resist. ;D So when I got home I finished it up with some felt embellishments and a cheery yellow sun for contrast.

When I started stamping Miss Anya I was working on an uneven surface so I didn’t get the whole image. Then thinking I could get the better of my work desk I tried it again in the same spot pressing harder – but this time I ended up with the other half of the stamp missing! LOL Little did I know that my stubbornness to clean off my desk would eventually lead to this enjoyable technique of raising a portion of the image with foam dot – unfortunately, I haven’t a clue what it’s called but I love the effect! ;D Her hat, head and fore arm were raised.

Did you know? A beanie is a head-hugging brimless cap with or without a visor that was once popular among school boys. However, a tuque is a knitted cap, originally of wool though now often of synthetic fibers, that is designed to provide warmth in winter. Most tuques are tapered; they sometimes have ear flaps, and may be topped with a pom-pom, this style of tuque is sometimes referred to as a boggan or sherpa. Tuques may have a folded brim, or none, and may be worn tightly fitting the head or loose on top although the latter is considered more standard.
