Have You Ever Had An Idea....

and it just doesn't turn out the way you thought it would? Please tell me I am not the only one this has happened too! (insert frown face here) This is such the case for this card.

I had this vision which by the way woke me up at 3:00am (lol!!!) and decided to get up and come sketch it out before I lost the idea and went back to bed. Well, I was anxious to be able to make this card that I thought when I finished it, it would just say WOW this morning! But Uhmm No! Believe it or not I worked on it this card all day (8 hours) changing this, changing that, thinking maybe I should just trash it. Heck it took me 2 hours alone to just get the wings the way I wanted them to look I used 4 coats of Shimmerz Angel Wings so the wings would take on the iridescent look so that we can all imagine of how the wings would look if we were to actually see a real fairy. I even embossed the vellum for the background part which was probably another 30 minutes since it was a metal template. Then realizing it wasn't going to fit a normal card size nor the 5.5 x 5.5 size either. I have not been fond of the larger size 9 x 4-1/4 because it seems there is so much space to cover. But since I had incorporated 2 stamps, I had no other choice but to go with the big card size. I would have rather used the normal size card, but by designing this card it helped me step out of my comfort zone and be challenged. LOL!
