Fifty Shade of Oops!

The lovely Sue is in charge of inspiration this week at PaperArtsy. Now I don't have any wooden bags, but I do have a chipboard clipboard. Never in my life have I used a clipboard but it was £1 so into my stash it went (about a year ago) and it's finally made it's way to the top.
Things weren't going too bad until I got to the painty stencilling. I was a bit heavy handed with the old London Bus - wow is that bright! Lots of Limelight and Zest Zing (any excuse to use these) and it was toned down a little bit. You can guess how bright it was if ZZ and Limelight toned it down lol.
Ooops number 2 came with stamping the sentiment (HP 1104) The stoopid clip got in the way of the block and so I only stamped half of it - the patchy half! Operation Clean Up yet again :)
The dustbin was calling by now but I though I would try one of Jo's stamps, and stamped this little beauty from Jofy 12 in Snowflake,  and now I like it again :-)
The sun is shining here today so all is good.
Thanks for looking and have a great weekend x

    I love this! You'd never know it was anywhere near hitting the bin! I also love your title! Yesterday I had a terrible oops, lovingly creating the inside of a gate-fold card upside down to what was on the outside, if you see what I mean! Did I fume! xx Julie Ann

    Some people call it oops, crafters call it happy accidents ! It's the result that counts... very pretty.

    Sunshine clipboard - wow! It's beautiful, Sue! The finishing touch of the white stamping lifts it into a big WOW probably!!

    (Duh, I should learn to type--or proofread!) Not sure if I like your post title or the clipboard art best! Just kidding--you know that I love playing with words *almost* as much as I like playing with art!! Super idea for the clipboard. I have one, but, like you, it has been lost in my art loft for months...okay, years! You have inspired me to find it and get crafty! Mwah!
