The Wedding Card That Took Forever!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend.  We are having some great weather for this time of year.  I hope it continues for quite a while. 

My best friend’s son got married yesterday and I needed a card.  I decided to CASE my self with this card.  I changed the colors (the colors of the wedding were burgundy, champagne, and ivory) and the image.  I thought this would be a quick beautiful card to make.  Little did I know the issues I would have.  I had the image embossed on the vellum and ready to cut out.  I went over to my Cuttlebug set it up and ran it through.  UGH, the image shifted not to mention the vellum wrinkled.  So I went back to drawing board and embossed and colored another one.  This time I taped the vellum to the cutting template and used a piece of cardstock to help with the cutting.  When I took it out it had some pieces of cardstock on it.  I tried to remove it but it didn’t work.  Okay, so now I have to create another image.  After doing that I cut it out and colored it in.  I decided it needed a little more color so I tried coloring the cake stands.  Well I didn’t like that so I thought maybe I could use a Q-tip to remove the color since I was using Stampin’ Up’s markers and they are water based.  Well that didn’t work and it ruined the image so now I had to create another one.  This time it turned out great.  I attached it to the white oval and saw I had some color from my fingers on the tape.  I tried to remove it but it didn’t work, so I am back to making another one.  This one turned out good so I attached it to my card.  It looked  a little different for some reason and couldn’t figure out why then it finally hit me.  I had attached the image backwards.  I tried to remove it and flip it over but the vellum tape eould not come off.  So now I am creating another image (you need to see visualize me putting my Cuttlebug and dies away each time as I just knew I was all set with the image and couldn’t possibly make another mistake).  This one finally worked and I was able to attach it to my card correctly.  So now my quick card turned into a 2 hour card but it was finally finished.  Would you like to see it?  Well here it is!

So what do you think?  Do you think it was worth 2 hours (wouldn’t have been that long if I hadn’t kept making stupid mistakes)?  Thanks for looking and hope you have a great Sunday!
