It started out innocently enough... should I do the challenge today and use some twine on my card? Why not, I thought to myself, remembering Anne's challenge to choose an image that would accommodate a crazy caption. The old rusty wheels started turning, and I had a plan to combine the two challenges. I'd CASE this pretty card by Phyllis, and get 'punny' with the title.
So far, so good. I colored my image with Copics, clear EP'd the wine bottle and carefully cut it out. Since the stem was so delicate, I thought I'd use sticky dots to adhere the image to my card. Here's where things took a turn for the worse. I ever so carefully placed my image on the sheet of dots... upside down!!! Needless to say, it's taken awhile to roll all those pesky dots off my wine bottle. The twine bow was supposed to go around the neck of the bottle, but I had to put it at the top to cover up some smudges.

Beautiful card! Really like the combination of the Very Vanilla with the pinks and the twine. Your wine bottle is awesome - it looks so real! I can definitely relate to your cover-up story. I wouldn't know what to do if I didn't have to fix a mistake - but some of the cards I like the most are the ones with my corrected mistakes.
