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
