Day 10: The Raven
This ATC will be
"Forever More"
Stuck in my head. Why didn't I listen to
everyone on the web who said:
"Always trim your rubber stamps that are mounted on cling foam
very close so that you can tell where it's going"
Why couldn't I make the little Raven's feet touch the limb?
Cause I didn't trim close enough.
UUUGGGGHHH!
I stamped these with embossing medium,
which is what? Invisible! Couldn't see a
thing until the black powder was added.
And I have no idea why the "Raven" word bled into the paper.
It looks like it melted right in the paper.
And let me just finish my rant, I was also working on my
Simply Betty Challenge # 4 Project,
you know the one with the pumpkins.
I had it all laid out ready to cut in my gypsy, paper loaded,
the cricut started cutting and then
and then,
The Gypsy Died
The battery was dead, it needed charging.
That's what the flashing little red light is
about folks, It's dying. I thought I could
make it. And to top that off all off I can't find my charger.
UUUGGGHHH!
So now I will have to punch in all those pumpkins and cut them
one by one.
UUUGGGHHH!
Thank you for letting me vent my frustrations. Back to the ATC.

Oh no! Sounds like your crafting didn't go too well! I'm sorry about your Gypsy...I can tell you why the letters melted (though I like the effect!). You heated up that section too much. You need to remove the heat just as the powder has melted otherwise it kind of pulls a bit of a disappearing act. But like I said, it looks cool here! I really like the whole ATC! Poe (and ravens!) rocks!
I agree with Alison, it was just heated to much. I love this raven though! I think it is awesome!!!
Only you would notice what you consider imperfections, hon. Tim Holtz says "embrace them!" I think this is fab! xxD
Crazy electronics!! ugh.
I love that the raven looks melted into the paper!! I love when "mistakes" are really awesome!! This rocks!
love your atc awesome work

Wonderful ATC, I think all the little mishaps only added to the creepiness... the melted letters the floating raven... i love it! Good luck on finding your charger :)
hey, even though it didn't come out how you imangened, i still love it! great job!
Sounds like a tough muse day - but it still looks great. Loving the raven!
That is a wonderful ATC, love the raven and texture
Crafting is all about making mistakes and learning from them and accepting even the mistakes look good to others. We are our own worst critics after all. I do all my own cutting out - no cricket here - so I know the trepidation you face - once you start ... good luck finding the charger
