Nicole’s challenge is to use the 3rd anniversary material of leather or leather like paper to be exact.

I am finding all the stamp a faire challenges, well, to be a challenge!  I have no patience and several of the challenges require that I wait patiently while things dry.    What happens when I have to wait is this:

I don’t put anything away, in case what I am waiting for to dry,  needs to be redone for some reason, and I also get out everything I need for the next project and pile it on top.  Ugh, what a mess.

This project was headed for the big round file a couple of times, but it actually began to not look too bad, once I started applying walnut stain to the card front.
