Imperfect is OK After All!

At the SNAP blogging conference, 

Poppy Seed Projects

supplied us with a "make & take" sign.

{Here's the darling Vivienne from The V Spot working on her's.}

{We chuckled when the vinyl for her sign stuck to her name badge.}

We were supplied with a piece of wood 

which had been painted & prepared with a texturizing cream.

Vinyl was placed on the surface,

then we applied the paint color of our choice 

& removed the vinyl.

That's when my panic attack ensued.

The paint had bled under the vinyl!

Broken-hearted, I set my project aside for about 2 weeks.

Then, I put my big girl panties on, 

{I've been needing them a lot lately}

finished taking the vinyl off, & sanded like crazy.

Guess what?

I love the way it turned out!

It's supposed to have an "antiqued" look & it does!

I think it looks kinda chippy & vintage-y.

And I really like it.

{I used "Primary Yellow" Americana paint on the edges -

a gift from DecoArt.}

Sometimes things can turn out differently than we pictured,

but still be a success.

Can I get an "amen" from all those fellow

recovering perfectionists

out there?
