Hello ~ Hello
I decided tonight to play along with a Gina K Designs StampTV challenge that Lee posted on the StampTV Facebook page which was to use gingham on your card/project. I quickly pulled out this cute lil' snowman from Gina K - Warm Winter designed by Carolyn King.
And the saying goes, "Mistakes are the portals of discovery." - James Joyce (1882-1941). Or something like that.......
I'm only saying it because, the glitter was not supposed to happen....It was just supposed to be some clear sparkle pen and I accidentally grabbed a Quickie Glue pen. So then the Iridescent Ice EP came out, along with my heat gun (which honestly I have been avoiding since embossing 125 wedding invitations, perhaps it will stay out now)
That being said, I'm pretty happy with how it ended. And now I have a new use for the Quickie Glue Pen, other than to use it to adhere small pieces. :)
I paper pieced the heart with some of the gingham patterned paper (which is from a summer collection, the other side is black gingham - think picnic tables...) The red gingham and gold-lined green ribbon are both from Gina K Designs. The scalloped die at the bottom is from My Favorite Things (MFT) I added 3 blings to the upper right hand corner...
Below is a close-up picture of my little mistake..... :) I do think it sparkles quite well.....
Thanks for stopping by tonight!

I do like the sparkle! No one would have even know you had made a mistake. BTW, I like to refer to them as learning experiences! lol
