I watched a video by Tim Holtz once. He was making a tag and made a goof. He didn't let it bother him. He said he was embracing imperfection. That reverberated in me; that was a concept I could adopt as my own. And so I did. I've realized that being perfect isn't fun! Being perfect means never learning. Because—let's face it—in order to learn, we must make mistakes.
This card is that philosophy at work. Try as I might (and I tried three times) I couldn't get a clean embossed image with the stamp I'd chosen, my watermark ink and embossing powder. I took a good look at the three I had and realized that, even though they weren't exactly like the stamp, they weren't bad either. I decided they were a modern, contemporary wreath. I embraced their imperfection and chose the one I liked best to use on the card.
I dressed it up with some diamond shaped gold pearls and modern looking gold ribbon. I like the way it turned out.
