All Things Stampy: There are no mistakes, remember!

There are no mistakes, remember!

There are no mistakes in rubber stamping, right? This is one of those occasions. I was die-cutting a batch of small flowers (like the one on this card) and accidentally put my strip of glimmer paper onto the die the wrong way round. I was gutted to produce two thirds of a flower, wasting so much glimmer paper! But then I had a brainwave... and this is the result. The straight edge of the flower is butted up against the white panel and topped off with a small flower and rhinestone. Yes, rhinestone. I have coloured rhinestones in red before (use a permanent marker – water-based markers will just wipe off) and wanted to see what it would look like in black. Result: the photo’s rubbish - it’s quite sparkly in real life but not as sparkly as the red ones were.
