Hello, Friday! How good of you to come around so quickly! :) I've really had some awesome cardmaking time this week and have been enjoying catching up with challenges. Today I've got a three for one challenge deal. I've used the sketch from RetroSketches, the colours from the Create Blog challenge and the inspiration picture from Paper Smooches Sparks. The happy accident I mentioned in the title of this post is the background stamping. As you can see, I managed to get the VersaMark ink all over the place leaving lots of little splotches on the background panel. I was going to make another card base and try again but I decided I actually like how it looks. Kind of distressed almost. Tim Holtz I'm not but it works for me! 
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (Lucky Limeade, Tempting Turquoise, Basic Grey) Stampin' Up
Cardstock: (Lucky Limeade, Tempting Turquoise, Basic Grey) Stampin' Up
Stamps: (Phone from Perpetual Bliss, Sentiment from Good Gab, Houndstooth from Debonair, Background from Hip To Be Square) Paper Smooches
Inks: (VersaMark, VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko
Die: (Nesties Large Labels) Spellbinders
Gems: (Beetle Black assortment) Doodlebug, Reflections

What a happy and pretty accident. Love this card. So clever to have a phone book behind the telephone.
This is such a great card! I love the design!
Your happy accident looks so cool and purposeful Jen! Love the colours and the funkiness of your card.
So very cool, it does have a fabulous distressed look. Well saved! :)
Those colours just pop beautifully off that grey background - which is fabulous - more happy accidents needed!

There are no mistakes in crafting - love the distressed look to the background and that little directory panel is just perfect with the phone and sentiment. Love it!
You're right, that blotchy background works perfectly with this card! :-) Love it!
FAB card jen! Yes, I agree, the splotchy bg works well!
Oh, c'mon, just pretend the bg was planned, because it works perfectly for the vintage theme! I _really_ like this card, Jen. Awesome!
