Hot Mess - December 2024

It's the 12th of January, time to get messy. (insert deer-in-the-headlight look) As you likely recall from previous 12ths, I am not one who likes messes. Not one bit. BUT a challenge is only a challenge if it stretches you, and I'm up for the Hot Mess Success Challenge. 

Barb, Carol, Darlene, Terry, and I create cards for the Hot Mess Success challenge each month and share them on the 12th. 

It's Anything Goes - as long as there is something messy involved. Some months are messier than others. AND some months turn out better than others.

This month's just a mess. I'm not at all pleased with it.

I started out by stamping the Technique Junkies Zen Trees Background (on sale at TJ right now for 30% off plus an additional 10% off with my discount code - TJ10JEANETTE) on white CS. I then tried out my new toys - Ranger Distress Spritz in two colors. I am not at all impressed. I thought they would give a smooth cover, but instead they are spotty. UGH! They do have a lot of shimmer and shine though.

One thing for sure - I did make a mess. ;)

Be sure to check out the other Hot Mess gals blogs, too, to see their cards (you'll be WOW'd!)...
