Hot Mess ~ Success

 

Today is the 12th and it is time for another Hot Mess card.   This card is #87, so we are into year #8. The idea of Hot Mess ~ Success is to Get Messy and you will have Success!  Messiness can be almost anything that we come up with--glitter, alcohol inks, glimmer glitz, sponged backgrounds, etc., anything that is a bit messy.  We are a very fun group and will post a card each month on the 12th.  The links to the other members are on my left side bar and I will also link them at the bottom at this post.

For my messiness this month, I went to my unused items basket and found 2 parts that I could use for this card.  The background is a watercolored panel that I decided I would make a sweet winter card.  Then, I also found an already-colored-image of a cute penguin!  Perfect!  I splattered/spattered--your choice, the background with white Dr. Ph Martin's white.  I die cut the panel with Gina K's Master Layouts 2 and backed it with black.  I went with a favorite die for winter, Lawn Fawn's Giant Let It Snow and layered it three times in black.  I tucked the penguin behind some of the letters.  No bling needed.  

I like this snowy card and hope you do too.  I also sure hope my fellow messy ladies like them too!  Here are the links to the other somewhat messy crafters: Darlene, Jeanette and Terry.I am sure you will enjoy seeing how everyone got messy this month and was successful in making some great cards!   Be sure to check back to see what we are up in December!
