I don’t do well with failure

These may be a little hard to see so go ahead and click on them to enlarge.

I don’t like having an idea that doesn’t turn out as well as I have it pictured in my head so I decided to try these two postcards again. Since I liked the snowflake so much I used the same background and am doing the same embroidery stitches in the snow. I also changed the direction of this first one and put it on point. Looks like fireworks doesn’t it??
I haven’t stitched the snow in this one on the left yet but I decided to try to add snowflakes on the reject – I hate to waste my efforts too so I have a habit of trying to add to something that’s not working. This looks a little better so the reject might just show up in someone’s mail box even through it’s certainly not my best effort.
And just so you don’t think I’m more creative than I am….when I was looking for the beads for the snowflake I saw these iron-on crystal packets….both the above cards came with the crystal design already in place and all I had to do was press them to my postcard. They were $2-3 dollars and then on sale at Joann’s so I thought they were worth a try.

By the way, all these postcards have the same blue background although it looks black in some photos. The second photo shows the truest color.
