after i finished this other card for Card à la Carte's Inspiration Center, i was left with a second transparency card base and i didn't want to put it away for future use... we all know what happens when we do that. it gets put away and forgotten!
so in my eagerness to use it, i started using a rub-on and messed up - big time! i couldn't get rid of the bad rub-on so instead i chopped off the transparency part that was damaged and figured out a way to use the rest. as it turns out, i had a front and about an inch of the back so i salvaged it by glueing a piece of white C/S to the 1" part for the back and a piece of DSP to show through the front, kinda sandwiched between the white CS and the transparency.
the DSP acts as a backdrop to my glittered i {Heart} you Sticky Cuts Letters (#111109) that i dusted with Red Fine Galaxy Stampin' Glitter (#114286) and Olive Fine Supernova Stampin' Glitter (#114287) from Stampin' Up! i also added a gorgeous Basic Black 5/8" Satin Ribbon (#117285) to the top of my card.
ooooh, she purdy! see how she shines?!
the inside of the card is also a mistake i fixed. i had stamped the sentiment (from Kind & Caring Throughts #115234 -- hostess free gift) directly on the inside panel but it smudged. So i stamped it again on a scrap piece of Whisper White CS and lined with a piece of Real Red CS before adhering it over the smudged sentiment.
~~ a mistake is just an opportunity to get creative! ~~
happy saturday! CeeCee
