Hot Mess - May 2025

It's the 12th of May, 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.

I do have to confess. I sort of cheated this month. I was out of time and needed to get this card made quickly. (What's a girl to do?) I went to my scrap files and found a stamped image and stamped and die cut sentiment. I also found some scraps of paper that I had embossed. So I colored the image (no mess there) and I used an ink cube to add ink directly to the teal colored embossed piece (my fingers are still smeared with the ink so that qualifies for a mess). Easy peasy.

I'll try my best not to cheat next month.

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