I was working on quick card tonight, but the idea I had didn't quite turn out. I was trying to do a nice color background with Distress Ink over the Hero Arts Antique Flower Background stamp to make a quick congratulations card, when it turned out a bit grey and not at all the cheery look I was going for with this one. Boo. But the more I looked it, the more I thought it would work for something just a little different.
I looked around my craft desk and saw the banner from the Dotted dies from Avery Elle and the many thanks sentiment from the Hero Arts Sending Smiles set and a new idea was born. I made a quick banner stamped with Slate ink from Simon Says Stamp and added a little wood veneer heart (with Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents, of course) and, all of the sudden, that failed background was perfect.

Doesn't look failed at all....looked like it was all planned. Beautiful. I bought that die and haven't used it yet.
