This poor card...

 the bottom part of it got torn apart about 5 times. 

I made this for Card Pattern Sketch #123

 At first I wasn't happy with the sentiment on the overlay.  It only took me about 50 tries to get it legible, without smearing the sentiment.  It actually looks pretty good in real life but the photo didn't look so hot.  

I took of the overlay (of course, tearing the little squares beneath), replaced the squares and tried stamping directly on the squares.  The large button got in my way. Of course I did not realize this until I had already laid the stamp down.  

I add more layers, move the button and stamped again.  It came out terrible because of the unevenness.  

I consider myself to be a pretty level headed gal with lots of common sense, but at times like this my own stupidity just amazes me. Ever have that feeling? Or is it just me?

Then I tore the large square off of the original card.  

I adheard my 5th set of squares to a new card and realized I liked the overlay after all.  Adheard the large square, and here you have it.

Here is a better shot of the bottom part.  It really does look nice IRL.
