This is my card for WT178 and a Friday paper piecing challenge at Embellish-it Scrapbooking.
This is my story!
1. Well, I tried to combine two challenges. I was making a card for a paper piecing challenge at Embellish-it Scrapbooking and yesterday's Ways to Use it.
2. I had awesome rhinestones and was glueing them all the way around the scallops and came up about 4 short. Why didn't I count them before I started gluing them on? In order to get rid of the little spots where the paper pealed up I had to glue these little white sponged circles over them to cover up the ripped paper! So then I went to eyelets.
3. Then I thought oh no, now I am not using jewels so I had to think of another unusual embellishment so that is when I strung string through the eyelet holes! Oh brother!
4. Originally I had one bird on this card and I tried to stamp some words and messed them up big time so I had to add another bird to cover up a big blob of black ink.
5. Then I had to sprinkle fine glitter around the leaves because I needed to cover up little splotches of shiny glue!
6. It is amazing that I like this card as much as I do because its just a bunch of big mistakes....
I do love this awesome Basic Grey Boxer paper. Its from:
