A Very Happy Accident (of sorts) - I LOVE This. And Not A Ribbon In Sight!!

Hello lovelies and hope you are all OK. 

It's been a day of really bad weather here. Like REALLY bad.

The lane is flooding from both directions and guess where it meets?

 Right outside out house. 

Luckily the house is on a bit of a slope which isn't great in the snow and ice but I guess it's handy if it floods. Oh hang on a sec, it's snowing as well!! Just as well we are all grounded!!

So anyway, I had a spare butterfly on my desk after the cards from the last 3 days. 

I also had  a square of card which I was going to turn into a striped border to go behind the hedgie but I did it wrong and nearly chucked it but didn't.  

So I die cut a circle and put the butterfly on it and tried it over the square.  I thought it looked nice. 

But the circle was a bit plain.   

I'd been colouring a sweet gnome from this set  ...

.. which is the Polkadoodles Gnome is Where The Heart Is set.

 Swooooon.  

I'll share that card tomorrow. 

I really like that spotty heart stamp so I made a little border and put it across the circle to break it up.

And as I had the Perfect Wishes stamps still out (I do put stuff away, honestly ... just not straight away), I used one of the sentiments from there 

I also added three little bits of sparkle. 

I was ever so pleased with how it turned out. 

So it's a happy accident because if I hadn't made a mess of the square, or thrown it away, I wouldn't have made this card.

This card is a rare thing on 2 counts. -  

1. It is actually for somebody and will be with them shortly.

2. It seems perfect for a bit of the old gingham bad boy, but I resisted the urge and I'm glad I did because it might have spoilt it 

Right I better be off. I'll be back tomorrow with my gnome card.

I love them, I really do. and this one is a pleasure to colour.

So until then, stay safe and warm and dry and take care xxx
